Beautiful! It looks like Christmas there! :)
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

Thanks Q, I refrain from mixing the parrot finch species because they will interbreed. Parrot finches will crossbreed with gouldians also.

No, I have no other types of parrot finches at this time. Maybe in the future I will change out and try a new species but for now it's the redthroats I am studying. Mostly the normals and seagreens. I do have a pied but he is kept totally seperated from the others. Once pied genetic enter the lines it is almost impossible to remove it.
There is just something about the 2 colors that contrast against each other that I find most appealing. Though pieds are beautiful too :D
