Firefinches good fosters... i wouldn't say that. Most of us really struggle getting them to not reject the hatchlings. Maybe after a few successful clutches it might be possible.Pukasand wrote:Those are really nice pics and the birds are beautiful. I wish I could post some. I still haven't figured out the camera. I read somewhere that the Firefinches make good fosters***, can anyone confirm that? I'll have to backtrack and see if I can find out where I saw it. Again, JohnBoy, nice pics of nice birds. I love the vibrant color of the Firefinches.

I admit I was a bit puzzled when I read it also, because that didn't seem to be what everyone else was saying. Thanks for clarification.
**You know what, I misquoted. It didn't say they make 'good fosters', it said, 'they can be used to foster other finches'. My bad.
