Welcome and what adorable owls! (I wouldn't mind seeing pic's of your RF Canary, either).

So sorry to hear you've been bitten by the Finchlovers bug but I'm sure you won't mind feeding your addiction along with the rest of us here... :mrgreen:

Looking forward to hearing stories of your feathered kids! :)

:D Thanks for all your wonderful comments. Someone asked to see a photo of my Red Factor "Peeps" see attached. The owls are settling in well and now they have company.

Found two Orange Cheeked WaxBills today. Photos after I charge my batteries. #-o

Thanks

Thanks he is a beauty for sure. The gal I bought him from had so many Red Factors and all were this intense in color. It was sure hard to pick one out. Her hens were less intense in color and I hope to secure a mate for him as soon as mating season is over. I tried to attach a video of him singing but I don't know if it will come thru.

Welcome to the Finch Forum, Sherry - really love all your birds. Your Owls make me excited to get my pair in 5 weeks and your Canary is stunning! What is the fruit on the far side of it? Apple? My Canaries can't get enough apple and I worry about feeding them too much sometimes.
