I just couldn't resist. These are the cutest little guys I've ever seen! I'm not sure of their sex, but fingers are crossed for male and female. Meet Octavia and Orian

They are LOVING all the space in their new cage!

Cute!
I love my OCs and I'm sure you will love yours! Mine are a trio, and probably all the same sex (I assume males) because they have never attempted any breeding.

They are very gentle and calm birds, but at the same time curious and inquisitive.

Very cute! I have four males, I think, even though they paired off into two's. No nesting or other activity in one year.

Here's some pics that aren't as good as your, as I have to use my cell camera, but they give you an idea.

I'll post two now and two next post.

Congrats!
I have a pair as well. They have been building a nest for about 5 months now. They constantly tinker with it. I think they are a very under-rated finch, because they are so peaceful, active, and curious birds. They were my first finches and some of my favorites.

Chase, besides the swee waxbills that I had for only max a half year they were my first finches too and really started my love for finches! Of the 4 that I got I still have 3, so come to think of it, besides one of my budgies it makes them the oldest birds in my aviary. They are now about 5 years old (have the aviary a little more than 4 years).

I just saw OC's in a pet store last week and couldn't believe how small they were and so cute! I thought they were very pretty! I instantly wanted a pair of course

but alas, they were left at the store.

I'm almost positive I heard some singing coming from their cage today.
