Introducing new flock members

Post by vienneparis » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:29 pm

Hello Finch Friends,

Thanks to the generosity of rancho2, I have 9 new additions to my flock - 7 lady gouldians and 2 owl finches. It's been so exciting to watch them settle into my aviary and flight cage, especially the owls and the blue back lady. These finches have been on my wishlist for a while.


On top of these finches, I have new fledges, 2 gouldians and 1 RTPF. What a bonanza! I feel like it's Christmas in July \:D/ :YMPARTY: :YMPARTY:

They are beautiful Vienne, congratulations you lucky girl.
I love your orange headed boy, but then I'm rather partial to orange headed boys. Is your Lady Blue, white breasted or purple breasted? Couldn't tell from the picture.

Good luck with all of your new babies.
