In everyone's experience which finches seem to be the most active? I want some really active little guys.

My St Helena and Orange cheek and one pair of my Owls are very busy. My Gold Breast are active during certain times of the day.

In the past Zebras are non-stop busy!

I'd have to say my Cuban Melodious and Parrot Finches are the busiest birds I have.

wow a lot of these active little guys would be hard to obtain here in Minnesota! my gouldians are not that active but they are still coloring up, maybe that has something to do with it.

are zebras very active?

my owls are pretty active I just love an active cage!

Anyone know of a good breeder that ships red headed parrot finches?

I have had some shipped from Virginia and some from south Florida. I will PM you with the Virginia info. I have had several babies this year... I have 16 of these beauties...but now ready to sell or ship yet. Maybe nest season.
