Some are, some aren't. I believe that since we have such large amounts of imports from time to time we have slacked and are no were near domesticating some of these species. We do have some breeders who breed them but we still have a long way to go. The main one we have here are Goulds, Owls, & now we are starting to see a bit more of the diamond firetails.rip64 wrote:G'day Rancel , welcome along for the ride - great list of kept birds - lots of Aust FinchesAre they readily available for you in US and is there enough breeders with mixed blood ?

Absolutely brilliant Rancel,i noticed that your melba's are the green chested one's,over here we have the red cheasted variety where the red of the face runs down to the spots on the belly and the more red chested birds are the most sort after.
It's a shame,but our yellow diamonds have been lost or are few and far between but we still have pieds,fawns and cinnamons . Cheers Craig

I wish we had crimsons I haven't seen any in a long time. Last one I saw if im not mistaken was black bellied but it was a lonely male, the breeder had lost the female.crocnshas wrote:Forgot to mention,do you have Australian crimsons over there and if so are they white bellied or black and are there any mutations of either.

I thought those melba's looked a little different. Thanks for the photos Rancel
