I've seen a few juvie spice finches at petsmart, might get one or two. Does any body keep/breed these? I would like some info on them. I'm going to need more cages!

I have 2 hens. I love them. Very quiet and they get along geat with my zebra hens. I got mine from PetSmart also. I got my first one for free because she only has one leg. They said she was there 2 months and nobody every noticed it

I had to get the second so she could have a friend

the petsmart people would probaly try selling me it half price! I have a lone zebra hen so she'll probaly live with the spice finches if/when I get some

One of my favorites also. They are quiet and peaceful but like space and the bigger the flights the better. They also like a colony environment where they can choose their own mates. I foolishly traded mine a while back and hope to get more. I miss having them.

Hmm, I think I'll wait until I get a flight for them, I might just make one.

Mine are in a 6 ft long flight and like to do "laps"

They are very entertaining to watch

I found a decent vidoe on how to make a flight. I think I'll make one

I had them years ago and enjoyed them...sweet little birds!

Here is Roy's article on them...now you have me thinking about them again!!!

How much were they asking for them?

I have a Spice pair and one juvenile from last years's first clutch. They are now sitting on three eggs due the first week of February. I love to watch them. Mine enjoy the larger flight, but for breeding, I have them in a smaller breeding cage.

Deborah, what a nest!! And Cindy, they sell them for 21, but they have them in the society cage (idiots dont know they're young spice)

Is this a good deal?

At PetSmart? That's below their regular price. They sell for around $25 and at the PetSmarts around here they sell them for 29.99 and then go on sale for aroun $20.99 or your $21.

Here they are always 21 if they have them in stock, but since they are "societies" to the employees I can get them for 20.
