Grey Finches

[purplejasminevn]

They are the best singers so far. I have a pair that ALbert got for me from Maglonia Bird farm - Orange county CA. They don't have the look but we love their songs. Anyone here has experience in breeding them?
I would love to have walk in flight cage for just these little finches

Thanks

Here is a thread I did when my Gray Singer hen laid eggs in the mineral cup on the front of her cage. I was able to watch the whole process, and even move the babies to a better nest. They are closely related to canaries. They like an open canary nest, though this hen prefers to use anything else--mineral cup, seed hopper, or build her own in a plant. They aren't always easy to find--many vendors don't like to carry them, as you can't sex them visually, and they look so insignificant that not everyone wants them.
