Hey Stan,

What do you mean by "exits"?

If you are looking for photos of Green Singing Finches, go to www.Google.com and do an image search. You'll get lots of pics to choose from.

Some people have made reference to the existance of "giant green singers" or "large green singing finches." They are not actually the same species as green singers.

http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfield/t ... entris.JPG has a picture of what that site refers to as "Yellow Canaries (Serinus flaviventris, often wrongly referred to as the large 'Green Singers')"

http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfield/t ... m/serins/# has all the photos comparing the birds.

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~qfs/finch_singers.htm has species profiles comparing "small" and "large" green singers.

I read an article just today in 'Just finches' magazine, a New Zealand publication, and there is a man in there that has worked to increase the numbers of Giant Green Singers.. Let me get the info..

Alright, here it is.. it's actually just something the editor mentioned in passing.. He mentioned his friend 'Tommy Gibson' in New Zeland, in Hunter Valley, Australia, in a small town named Weston. He used to raise Giant Green Singers.

Unfortunately, that's all it says.. Try a search for Tommy Gibson, 'Giant green singers'. and see what comes up.. just an idea
