Beautiful finches! I love the fledgling star who is starting to show the red in the mask. So cute. Can you post another pic of the aviary?

Really nice collection of finches. If I ever decide to get back into Australian species, I'd love to work with the Diamond Sparrows. I used to breed Stars, and I do miss them, they are the most inquisitive little things.

Oh they're so lovely!

Do I spy a cherry finch at the top of the second photo? You don't see them often!

The stars are gorgeous!
I simply love stars. I'd love another pair. They're so pretty and they have the best personalities. Very curious and easy-going.

Beautiful birds.
I really like the Diamonds. Do you find that they are aggressive with other species? That's what I read about them, but you house them together with your other guys. How is that working out?

Could you package a Shaft Tail girl and send her my way, for my boy Hunter? He's still lonesome, although I have seen him making eyes at my little Fawn Zebra girl <3 =)) =))

MiaCarter, you are right about the Cherry Finch, I have 4 of them, one pair is on the nest right now and I can't wait to see the results.
