FINCHforum

Just curious in your opinion what species of finch has the best song.

Also if you have sounds or videos of that species of finch singing post away.

IMO The Strawberry Finch

Without a question... the strawberry.

My male Jameson Fire Finch comes in second at my house.

I am in total agreement .... the beautiful Strawberry. And the lovely Firefinch a strong second!

I don't own any strawberries (maybe I should ) so when it comes to what I do have in my aviary I would pick the gouldian for his sweet soft song.

Since I don't own Strawberries and I do own Gold Breast, I am going to say Gold Breast. Their song is soft and sweet.

The Gray Singing finch has a fabulous song, very canary-like, without the rolls. It is quite loud, I can hear mine all over the house (but I live in a very small house)! So funny, such a plain, mousy little bird, then belts out this aria! I need to try to capture his song, just don't know quite how to do it and post it.

Probably the green or grey singing finch.

Look for the whistling smilies

I don't have Strawberries. In my aviary it definitely is the European Goldfinch. He has a beautiful song, especially in spring/early summer.

I do own a male Green Singing Finch and his song is really nice. It quite loud too. I can hear it even if the door in the bird room is closed. I have a recording of the male's song on my website http://ikhom.com/birds.

Like opening your backdoor on a spring morning. Beautiful

Very nice website and pics Ikhcom. I love the way your green singers nest is decorated. What type of plant is that? Do you have a pic of the full cage?

Click on the sound clip in the left upper corner.

I listened to a strawberry finch singing on youtube, very beautiful song indeed. I actually haven't seen strawberry finches in person before.

I've seen plenty of green singers, and fire finches, but I've never heard them sing before.
