Okay think I got it! Here are some in the back of my great grandpa's house. Not much animals here though, I've seen a lot of doves, a mongoose, and the free range chickens come back here sometimes. I vane go too far because it is mountainy and is very steep in some parts

Here is a female Pintail whydah on one of the trees in front of the balcony. I see little waxbills go in and out of them, not sure Edgar species because they are faster than lightning, but maybe she is looking for a nest to lay in

finchmix22 it's fun to adventure, but there isn't much wildlife sadly. Birds, lizards and a the occasional frog. There are a lot of stray dogs though! :lol: I'm going to a bird Park today so I'll take pictures!

Guys. . I just went to a little farm store thing. They had finch boxes (hang on the outside) that had two sliding doors on the left side so you can open the top half of the wall if you want or the whole thing. And they're very spacious can be used for parakeets or lovebirds! They were only 3$ and the cheapest ones I've ever found were around ten so of course I had to get some :lol:

How many did you buy? BTW I couldn't see the tricolors in the above photos. Where in the pic are they located? Thanks for sharing with us. =D>

In the second one, there are some in the tree in the center.

But it's hard to tell if they're the tricolors.
