Just wondering if there are many, if any, of the different varieties of thornbill kept?

I know there have been Yellow-rumped Thornbills in captivity in SA, and one other species - I forget if it was Chestnut-rumped, Brown, or Buff-rumped. It was in one of the old issues of Just Finches.

Cool, thank you. :thumbup:
There was a bunch of Yellow-rumped Thornbills on our front lawn when I posted this, made me start wondering if I could ever get them. :lol:
