Just picked up new Desert Finch.
Sorrry about the quality of the pictures
they were done with my cell phone.
It's going to take a few weeks for him to settle in.
He won't stay still..lol

Any info you can share with me would be much apreciated.
Everything I read on the net is written by observers in the wild.
I am have trouble locating info about them from breeders and people
that just have them for fun.

Do they like sunflower seeds?
What seeds do they prefer?
Any greens that they may like?

Thank you,

Jerry

Very nice bird Jerry! Love the pink on the wings. Is it just the picture or does the bird have a fairly dark face mask? Are you gonna find him/her a mate?

Gorgeous bird Jerry!

You'll have to keep an eye out for a female for him. I bet they make beautiful babies!! All the best with him!!

hi
to be honest with u i dont really remember all i can really remember
is they love water and they cant handle the cold they would always fly to saudi arabia in winter and they always nested in our apple and peach trees really high up and they did always eat the apples on the tree but yh thats really all i know

sorry

Thank you for the information.
At least now I know they like apples.
I will give him some today.
I tried some greens and he wouldn't touch it.

I named him "KHAN" since he is from Asia and area.

He does like the egg food.
Also I put a lamp on top of the cage and that has
settled him down.
