New to finches. From Arizona!

Post by marymac » Mon Dec 26, 2016 8:39 pm

Hello All!

I've had finches for about 2 months now and I just love them!! I have a large double flight cage with 2 Gouldian males, and one Owl male. I'm from Arizona and I look forward to sharing in your love of these sweet birds!

Welcome to the forum, and get more finches! :-)
Maybe starting with a pair for your owl.

marymac Welcome to the forum! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on finch care. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier to direct you to where to get the best deals on supplies, etc. We also love to see photos! A double flight for three birds sounds like heaven!

Hello, and welcome to the Forum.

There are many of us who have Gouldian Finches, and some that have Owls as well, so you're in good company. We'd love to hear more about you and your birds, and as mentioned above, pictures are always welcome.

The above photo ^ is when I had both of my owls. The hen passed away from a respiratory illness after just 3 weeks of me getting her. I tried everything to save her. My avian vet did too. But the male is in with my 2 Gouldians now and doing very well! He was so lonely without her at first.

Beautiful birdlings.

Are you considering getting another Owl, as a companion for your boy?

I would love to get one, but they are hard to find here. There is a bird show coming up at the end of the month. I may go to see what I can find. Right now the owl is best buddies with Bill.
