New pair of Lavendars

Post by cindy » Sun Jul 17, 2011 4:19 pm

Friday night I received a pm from a lady that posted on one of my threads. She needed to rehome a pair of shaft tails, a pair of lavendars and a pair of societies. She did not want to run an ad but asked me if I would like them. She wanted to make sure they went to a good home since they were moving across the country and could not take them with them.

We met them halfway on Saturday and the birds plus a little white female parakeet came to live with us.

The lavendars have a soft gently song...they are stunning little birds.

Nice :D I love lavendars, they have an understated beauty that captivates me. Great that she contacted a bird lover, nothing is worse than having to rehome pets.

Sally, so far they are very neat, very quiet birds. The song bits you sent me helped me tell at least one is male. I believe the other is female, but time will tell. Thank you again!

I have not heard my lavenders sing yet, but they are so striking and I love to watch them. I can't tell the male from the female either and since I can't hear the singing over all the other finches songs, I don't know which is which. LOL.

I am a big fan of Lavendars. They are on my short list of "wants".
I just got some Goldbreast's, Shaftails, and Fires this past weekend which I really wanted. Lavendars and Parrot finches are next.
