Finch Wish List

Post by BigBear0007 » Thu Apr 21, 2011 9:13 pm

Ok girls and boys!
What do you want next?

I personally want a pair of Strawberry Finches
first, then a pair of Blue Caps.

So what's next?

With only one pair of zebras and their two juvenile fawns, I am still very new to finching. So.......
Next on my list is a pair of black cheek zebras.
Then some owls, mostly because I love the way they look!
Pretty basic, I know, but I don't have space to do much more than that right now.
For now I am content with my zebras - I call them the "gateway finch" - the first in what I know will be a lifelong addiction to finches!

I would love any kind of gouldian :D
But none to be found here :/

Otherwise I'm hoping for a BC zebra, now if I really had the room I would like to add a couple of CFW, and a lightback/fawn male :P

I'm new to finches as well. That's why I started with Zebras and Societies. Maybe this fall I would like to have a pair of Owls or a pair of Gouldians. I can't decide which. :roll: they are both beautiful in very different ways!

My wish list:

Blue Capped Cordon Blues
Black Head Blue Back Gouldians
Owls
Forbes

But all this would require more space for them....one step at a time. I'm about ready to start shopping for the BCCBs.

In no particular order, I would love Strawberry Finches again (I admit, I was one of "those" people who took them for granted), Cubans (many are getting Cubans lately - I'm enchanted), and Cordon Bleu Finches (had them before - I miss their dance) in either Blue Capped or Red Cheeked.
God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored. <3
