Hard to say realy as i havn't had the pleasure to keep all the diffrent finches. But from the ones i have seen and got experiece with, it would have to be the Java finch. Those guys have such funny little characters.

If I could have only one I wouldn't have none. Finches don't like to be by themselves so... :?

I think the point of the question was just to state what your favorite finch is. :lol: For me I would keep my handtame zebra Chester. :D

I think if I could only have one...it would be the zebra. It was my fiirst finch and I have never been without them. For their personalities, trustworthiness, good looks, and ease of keeping they are at least at the top of my list. :D

I like them all, like them together and like them for different reasons -- I like each one the best! It would be like choosing your favorite child. [-X

I'd have to go with none over one.

I really like all my finches too much to try to figure out which would be my tippy top favorite... (Maybe I'm just indecisive). :lol:

Lots of Red Throat Parrot Finches, Forbes, Gouldians, BCCB's, RCCB's, Owls, Societies, and BB Fires. Plus, one wonderful 15 year old son, one wonderful husband and two rotten-to-the-core Border Terriers.
