Except for the Blue Chaffinches. Just say they are available in Portugal and I'll be there next week to pick them up! :D

Here is the subspecie from Madeira Island http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpisECAE ... re=related

and here is the African subspecies from Morocco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5tkqb_O ... sults_main
Here in Portugal there are 2 spicies of Fringilla one is Fringilla coelebs and the other Fringilla montifringilla. Madeira belongs to Portugal but they dont export this birds to the main land. :wtf:
Fringilla montifringilla or as we call it Brambling Finch is a very common finch throughout the Europe in aviculture

but the Blue Chaffinches either the one from Tenerife (Fringilla teydea teydea) or the specie from Madeira are very rarely available. The subspecie from Gran Canaria "Fringilla teydea polatzeki" is now critically endangered and is now being bred in captivity to save the specie.
