My new additions!!!!
Here are some pics of my new additions I've added the past couple of weeks. I'm so excited! The magpie mannikins were VERY unexpected, since I was supposed to be sent black and white mannikins instead, but I've really grown to like them!

Thanks Elana! I've finally realized that I want to primarily focus more on parrot finches and gouldians. That will hopefully keep me from getting tons of different species from now on
I do have one lutino parrot finch that I'll be getting at the end of this month. I can breed it with one of the blue faced parrot finches in the future. I'm just having issues with the logistics of which pairs to place together so they'll successfully breed.

Right now, the magpies are with the blue faced parrots since they came from the same place and are in quarantine. They were really flighty and nervous when I got them, but they're gradually calming down. They're still a mystery to me at this point....I have a corner perch with some ivy wrapped around it, and they like to sit up there. I think they would probably go straight to nest if I put one in.

Hi Stacie.
You mentioned wanting to get a Lutino Parrot Finch, to breed with your Blue faced Forbes PF.
What species of PF, is the Lutino?

LOL! I didn't know there was a difference between red throated and red faced until Colt put his post of the forum!
