why not find a breeder of finches in your area and ask if you could visit to listen to their birds. this could help in numerous ways. lets you hear each species and fal in love with the color varities available

That would be a great option! However I am in very rural ID. Only finches in this area are zebras and society. I had to drive over 3 hours on way to get the small variety I currently have.

I am thinking of going for gouldians, C.blues, and more star. You can't find the parrot head types around here but love their coloring!

Thanks everyone for your help. I wish I had sound capability on my computer that would save me some mistakes...lol

With your large garden aviary, color is also a factor, as the mostly brown birds are not going to be noticed as much. So Gouldians, Stars, and Cordon Bleus would give you both song, color, and compatibility.

the red billed firefinch and the orange breasted waxbill could be good species for you to consider, they are both very colorful and also passive which means they would be well suited for a large mixed aviary

Well, rkn, now I have to admit I can see what you have been going thru, or rather listening to. My one pair of Owls never made a lot of noise, even with babies, and their babies have been quiet, too. I just got another pair of Owls. They are in quarantine in one room, and the juvie Owls are in another. All is quiet until they start calling back and forth, and it gets louder and louder and louder! Pee!Peee!!Peee!!! They drown out all the songs from the other birds. Thankfully, they don't do it all the time, but the first time I heard them, I thought of you.
