They are cute as can be.

I saw some of them at a Petcetera store here about 2 years ago, and haven't seen any since. They seemed very curious and came right up to the front of the cage to check me out, every time I went to look at them. Surprised me, because I'd heard they were very flighty, like the goldbreasts. How are your little ones?
They have a wonderful big cage, so hopefully they
are a couple, and you will have babies!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
@ Franny: I can sit in the large reclining chair I have in the spare bedroom that there cage is in and they do there daily activities without much of a bother of me being there. If I approach the cage slowly, they tend to be a little afraid but calm down a bit if I stand still and talk to them.

Aren't they funny little guys? I have three (and suspect that all 3 are male). Watch out - they are FAST little buggers when they get out of their cage!

Yours are cuties - thanks for sharing!

Thank you Raleigh, Cindy, and Hillary!
Yes they are cute little things! They are in the process of building a nest right now! Though I suspect I may have 2 females since I never hear singing, but we will soon see!
