cool, im planning to buy them too
waiting for pics

Congratulations on your new birds - you'll love these tiny guys!!

I can't believe the steal of a deal I got two of them for (for Janine) a few weeks ago!!!

How much are they out west?

Where did you get them from, and can we see pictures??

$240.00 for the pair.
Had to be imported from Toronto.
They are usually $300.00 for a pair, when available.

In my area and most places I've seen online they are $350.00 a pair, so compared to that, you did pretty well. They are the cutest little things. I fell in love with one here and wish I could have got him.

She gave me a deal on them, the other pair she has for sale are $300.00 asking price and she will get it.
She is also keeping a pair for herself.
We are hoping they will breed and we can swap young and start a breeding program.

Oh wow, did I get a deal (steal) Thanks again Liz, for snagging up that pair for me.

Beautiful birds. I have them on my list of birds to purchase. My local guy only has two males right now but should have more females in two weeks. Worth the wait because is prices are always great.

A great looking pair you got there - congratulations!!

The little fellow has been busy this morning!
He's been putting hay into the nest basket.

Jerry

Excellent - mine wouldn't use the hooded wicker nest. He had to build his own right on top of it!

They are really settling in nicely.
They are a lively bird but not flighty.
I can come to the cage and feed them and give them greens
with out them trying to break out!

Also they like to bath.
When ever I fill the drinkers, I have to give them bath water or they
will try to bath in the drinkers .
I really recomend them if you can find them.

These are one of the breeds that will be harder and harder to locate,
as Cuba does not export them anymore.

I named them "Romeo Y Julieta" like the Cuban cigars.

Please let me know what your secret is?
What size aviary/cages you are using?
Any special foods?
How many pairs do you have?
Did you put the pairs together or did you let them choose?
