What do you want to know? I haven't had orange-cheeks, but there is a lot of info on breeding them at the Finch Information Center. I have tried with Green Singing finches, but didn't have much luck, and I no longer have the female. Actually, I think I was sold a different female than a Green Singing female, since mine didn't look like the photos, which would explain the problems, maybe.

I've never owned green singers.... I currently have a pair of orange cheeks, and the males song is really pretty! I don't breed them, but have heard that they are semi-hard to breed. They needs lots of privacy, live food, and the right type of nest, etc...
