They're great, do you have many different ones. I have been considering getting a few finches when we move. My 6 yr old loves them and there are so many varieties to choose from it seems. Coincidentally I was out at my folks place today and they get the firetail finches in the bush next to their place. there seem to be heaps around at the moment and they come very close to the house to use the birdbaths etc. They are not as shy as I would expect and I saw 3 males and a female while I was there. It took me an hour of stalking but I got some great pictures. I actually managed to get about a metre from them at one stage! Was really pi$$ed off though that i missed a great shot of one of the males taking a bath. Oh well maybe next time ;D  |

their gorgeous , i've also got a pr of black hearts but same thing their siblings so i gotta get another pr shortly , and a female zebra , the people i got the cordons and black hearts from also have cubans and african fire's , so i plan on getting a pr of african fire's from them later on when my avairy is finally finished , but i gotta get another pr of the other 2 first so their ready for the breeding season , i neva really got into finches , but lately the variety of colours and patterns have really got me into them lol

Yeah thats the way I have been thinking too, there are just so many and they are so cute. ;D
I think that The Bird and Fish place on Welshpool Rd has the cordons but probably really expensive from there eh!
