Favourite finch is a close call between two Australian species. The Crimson Finch (Neochmia phaeton) for its bright colours and their special personalities, and the Painted Finch (Emblema picta) for its plumage pattern and their near perfect aviary mannerisms/compatibility.
Life in Port Macquarie is the ultimate Aussie sea change lifestyle.

My favourite African species green singers and red cheeked cordons. Would love something like a green-backed Twinspot or green-winged pytilia.
My favourite Australian Species plumheads and Gouldians.
My favourite Pacific species red and blue faced parrot finches. Would love a green or pin-tailed parrotfinch.

As I didn't win the $30m I can not buy the block over the back and fill it with avairys containing flocks of 6 of each type of Manikin. :thumbdown:
