Bronze-Winged Mannikins?

[earlybird09]

Hello everyone! I have taken a interest in getting a pair of these cute little birds and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these birds and can offer some advice, also if anyone knows of any good websites with information about them! Thanks!

I have three together in a cage with nuns, orange cheeks and spices. They get along with everybody, eat anything, and love to sleep together in a nest at night. You need to watch their nails - they need pretty regular trimming. And they are BUGGERS to catch if they get loose - fast and have great stamina.

Here's a link to some info on Finch World:

Well,these guys eat a lot of paddy rice I believe like other munias and mannikins.I have Societies at home and feed them both spray millet and paddy,but they seem to ignore the spray millet and eat the paddy instead.
