They're very pretty! I had a pair of those once. I love their singing...I felt like I was in a jungle or something :D

Beautiful! I hope you have success breeding them, this is another species that has not been readily available in the U.S., so it is always good to see another breeder working with them.

Lori, I mean the cold weather and possibly snow storms of winter. Have been afraid to have birds mailed in during the winters here, though hadn't been as concerned when we were in FL. Were they local, mail-ordered? You had said that they arrived safe and sound so thought that they were flown in. Sorry.

@FLDoc

They came airlines...... United Pets first. No cold traveling for them.

It's been a really mild winter here though. USPS probably would have worked too.
