Newbie from Fresno, CA

Post by Bigfoot3345 » Wed Mar 30, 2016 11:45 am

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to say that this forum has helped so much already. I had purchased a pair of zebra finches last summer and they were very enjoyable and easy to take care of. So, last month, i went a little crazy and purchased 3 pair of lady gouldian, a pair of blue cap and a pair of Peter's Twins. I just finished my aviary and planning to put them in this weekend. Looking forward to talking to members here on this site.

Welcome to the Forum.

Sounds like you have a major attack of the Finch Bug, lol.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of your feathered kids and your aviary.

Welcome to the forum! As others have said, you have been bitten by the finch bug, not a bad thing either. There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on finch care. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier for members to answer your questions. We love to see photos!

Wow! You really went all in! :) Congratulations

I'm on my first pair of finches, but I would love to do what you have done.

For this "hobby" your first set of finches is VERY rarely your last set of finches..... Welcome to the forum!
