Thanks everyone! I love them, especially the goldbreasts! They make the cutest little high pitched sounds to each other!

Congratulations!
I didn't realize Doug was selling yet? He talked about not selling for a few more years while he works up his numbers.

Congrats!! Goldbreasts are the cutest of all finches, OC's come in close second. I hope to get a pair soon, right after I find mates for my owl and star.

Thank you everyone!
Doug sent me my new finches for free, he had large amounts of societies and GB's and orange cheeks. He also wanted to help me get started, and so I got some of his birds! I was very happy and glad to be getting birds of his, they are in excellent condition and are currently recuperating from the long journey. Once they get settled I will try and get more pictures. The GB's are slowly getting to where they do not panic as bad as they first did when I come around. I love them! They are the cutest things together!

Congrats Brant. That certainly was nice of that fella to give you those birds. You sure have gotten bit by the finch bug, big time.
30+ Zebra Finches (The actual number constantly changes) 2 Rabbits (1 Mini Rex, 1 Dutch), 1 Grouchy Old Fart, and 1 Dang Redhead
They came in last night at the post office around 9 and I went and picked them up. They came all the way from Texas from Doug Taylor aka gulfcoastfinches. They are lovely! I got a pair of societies and a pair of GB waxbills, my first pair of these ever!!! They are SOOO tiny and make cute little sounds to each other! The societies are very mellow at the moment as everyone is still adjusting from travel. I tried to get some pictures and the societies could care less, however the GB's didn't care to much for the camera. Enjoy!
