And of course I can't forget these two...it took a miracle to get them still for these awful pics! They're getting adjusted in this cage and then I'll move them to a larger cage with more greenery.

I also have one bronze winged mannikin, and a possible black and white mannikin who looks like it could be a hybrid with a bronze. These two were supposed to be my replacement for the first shipment of black and white mannikins that turned out to be magpies. Of course, the shipment was wrong again, so I've given up trying to get black and white mannikins. I guess you never know what you're gonna get with some of these online bird places. I'll stick to breeders within driving distance and bird marts from now on!

This is supposed to be a female forbes, but she was NOT going to stay still for a picture.  Her chest is much lighter than the males.

Congrats on the new additions, female forbes don't have the intense blue that the cocks have. It's a good bit lighter in colour

These are some better pictures of what I'm hoping is a female forbes....I can't hold it without gloves because it likes to bite!!!
