Are those two males two females?

They are so eye-catching when they sit like that, almost like these wise oriental birds from ancient times or something. I don't know, something about them is so striking.

The painted finches? IF so , yes.... it is two pairs.
I love these birds. They are not skittish or scared of me at all.

Beauties.

I love the painted finches. I can get some here, but the breeder reckons they don't do well in damp conditions i.e. my open aviary conditions would kill them and as they are super expensive here, I don't want to risk it.

I have seen their nests though. TOO cute that they use stones to line their nest with. Apparently breed quite readibly too.

I think mine are getting ready to breed as I have seen them go in and out of a nest. I am going to put a few more up and offer them some small sticks and pebbles.
I hope they will breed readily now!! I haven't had any luck so far which is why I wanted another pair. I have heard they breed best in groups.
