She sells them in her store and they have their own cage seperated from all the other finches. She tells everyone that they are hybrids and are more for show then breeding. She tells ppl it's not recommended to breed them and that some may even be infertile and shouldnt be kept with any other non-hybrid birds. The man she bought them from has many birds in a huge aviary and he caught up all the odd looking birds that he thought may be hybrids.
Sounds like they are both doing the responsible thing by making buyers aware of what they are getting. Can't do much more than that. If there are quite of few of them, he couldn't necessarily find room to keep them all himself. Good that he found someone to sell them, who is actually passing along their history to the buyer. You've found a good source, and an honest person, in this lady!
