FINCHforum

Will a Cordon Bleu sing or make sounds before daylight or not? From my limited experience, I have found that my gouldians do not, but that a male owl finch does.

CB's, at least my RCCB's were very quiet until lights on. Their song is very soft so even if they did dsing you most likely would not be awaken by it.

on this page are some sound clips on Blue Caps and RCCB's

don't think any of mine make hardly any noise until I turn lights on or the sun rises. But the cordon blues are definitely the first to the food once the lights are on....compared to my owls, societes and gouldians..... now I'll keep an eye on who comes in second...

My rccb's don't sing at dusk, but sing with the rest in the am. My Owls sing at dawn and dusk, as do my GS, Society's, and a few others.
