I would not hesitate throwing them in my mixed collections, yes them & Goldfinches can be wild caught, I got stuck with some that tried to get out the top on my aviaries.

Mine have been no trouble in a collection including bulbuls, goldies, chaffies, cubans and strawbs. They are sitting presently.
I put a pair of spare Gouldians in there two weeks ago and they have been picked by the Greenies a bit. Nothing serious, but enough to notice.
I wondered if it was the green back on the Goulds or the fact that they were a new introduction that was the problem.

Living Jungle in Ramsgate usually has some (wild-caught).elferoz777 wrote:Anyone know where I can get some green finches in southern syd apart from ace bird colonies? (no offence to them I just dont like travelling that far)
Avid amateur aviculturalist; I keep mostly australian and foreign finches.
