My newest couple as of last Thursday.

Very nice Liz!!! The are gorgeous birds. Do they sing like that of a Canary?

Very pretty, Liz! Congratulations.

Thanks! They are very pretty!

I haven't been around them long enough to hear them sing but I've read the male has a nice although repetitive song.

They are beautiful Liz
Time to update you signature line

Liz, keep them by themselves. They are vicious when breeding. Remember my post when they killed all my goldfinches, bronze wings and magpies?

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pictures with us

Yes I do recall John. Thanks for the reminder. Did you ever get your pair to breed?

wow, beautiful birds!

Are they a true pair?
Did you get them from a breeder?

I had a male years ago.
I had to go back to shop three times
before I got a true male.

Its a nice song, can be loud.

I have bought various finches from this petshop over the past 6 years and he has only mis-sexed one pair of birds over that time. Hopefully he got this pair right too; but honestly I don't know yet.

One has much more orange on the forehead than the other.

Yes they did breed. I posted the pics of the neat looking eggs they laid. But they would not set after transferring them from the aviary to a cage by themselves. And they have never bred in the cage.

Yes I remember the speckled eggs - beautiful. Were they fertile? Were you able to foster the eggs?

They are lovely!

Beautiful birds!
