FINCHforum

Hi, I am new to the world of Finches and was wondering... Are there any Finches that are all black?

combassou finch is the only one I know of

There is a eumo zebra and society's that can be all black.

Eumo zebra finch males are all black, with a little gray, and have chestnut flanks. I have a photo of my uncles on my thread "Mine & My Uncles Birds" that is all I know.

This is an older link to black finches

Another one that is almost all black with just a little strip of white on the wings is the cuban bullfinch

The only finch that I know of is a jacarini- volatinia jacarinia. They are black with metalic blue sheen hens are all brown. I know another name for them that may ring a bell blue back grassquit

Also, some mannikins are mostly black, but have chestnut or white in them, which makes the black stand out more. Check out www.efinch.com, go to varieties and you can look at different species. They do not have a photo for eumo zebra finches though.

Thanks for all the replies, I now have something species to look out for.
Cheers,
