BMustee Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Well, my MBS flaired up again and I got another set of finches. Yesterday I picked up a pair of Society Finches. One is a Chocolate Self Pied, and the other is the same but he's got the hairdo like the Gloster Canaries have. I'll post pics as soon as they have settled in.

judygram Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Well whats another couple of finches when you have so many, I used to have a couple of those society finches, prolific little suckers, they were always laying eggs and raising little ones and I used to give them away to family members. Enjoy your little finches Berna:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 I hear they are just about as bad as Zebras but at least with them I can sneek in other finch eggs in with them. Maybe I will actually have some Owl babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwinged Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hey, lovemygreys When you get your greenwing( I believe they will mate) you will have SO much fu, truth me I have one! :) Bmustee, congract's on the new bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Geez...Well, the two I got the other day ended up being two females (no way to visually sex) and I didn't have the heart to take one back to swap out with a male. You should have seen how these finches were acting when I placed them in the large flight cage with the plants and astro-turf bottom. Both of them wouldn't fly around, but stayed on the sides, it's like they have been in tiny little cages their whole lives. Well, long story short I spent all day sexing the birds at the store and brought home two males so now I have two sets of Society finches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyGreys Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Are they popular as pets Berna ? I have budgies & cockatiels in my aviary but no little about finches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 They aren't as popular as budgies, but once your bit by the finch bug it never seems to leave. I have customers that come in all the time and they are always getting new finches. The cheaper birds are always the better sellers because when people see a price tag of $289.99 for a pair of Owls or Gouldians they say "Yeah, right!" and walk away, but the Zebra and Society finches are the low end so we tend to sell more of them.
