Hi Riza - Salamat Malam. We're almost locals - I live in the Philippines. Your countrymen smuggle a few parrots this way but never finches. Do you get hold of the local birds? While there are lots of munias and quite a few parrot finches I'm thinking of the mountain firetail from West Papua. It's a bird that facinates me as do all the fire-tails but it's a species beyond my reach but I'd be interested to know if it has been kept and bred in captivity.

Thank you greg. Ya , i keep local bird, such murai batu, jalak suren. I keep canary and lovebird too :) . Commonly we're here choose to keep bird because the ability to sing, but there are also keep for the colour and body shape ;)
I don't really know about finchs or parrots from papua. i've heard people in papua not really have a tradition to keep bird for hobby . Bird still safety in their habitat :) . But because there is a demand for special type of bird, they kept , sell and transported to other island like Java. In Java, bird from papua like cacatua and few type of parrots has been kept and bred in captivity

Welcome to the forum. If you are into song birds I can understand why you keep canaries. I do too. I also find the song of the Java and cuban finches very pleasant.
