Congratulations! The red fronted serin is not a very common bird in aviculture. I can't wait to see pictures of your bird.

Here he is. He is very tiny. He is a bit fluffed as he was just getting comfortable in his new home. :)

Thank You Dante- He sings the sweetest song! He prolly is wild caught- he doesn't have a band.

Thank You! I found him on Craigslist. I was so glad to get him! He was delivered to me in a tiny, filthy cage, that he had been in since January, with moldy,rotten water. I could not get him away from that knucklehead guy fast eough. People never cease to amaze me!! They do have some at www.birdproduct.com tho. :) That's where I am going to get his wife I think. :)
