I would like to know which of these would seem the best to keep... they all around here locally, so they're used to the climate, and they all require a license (which I have) so it doesn't matter for me in that respect...
I have only had the D/B's before, they were impossible to sex, turned out to be 3 males. anyway which do you think is best?
redbrows, double bars or diamonds?

I love them all, double bars maybe a bit more than the others, but they are such escape artists.
My mum and I have always had a love of diamonds, but I have heard mixed results about these, much like crimsons. any thoughts?
and then redbrows are just the cutest little fluffballs, especially the fledglings

Red Brows , then more Red Brows and then more Red Brows ....gotta be my favourite finch by far . They have a bit of style about them .

Jay reddies are hard to breed. Other two are easier but u no that. I agree with buzz a vr1. But having sId that I've found reddies to be super hardy for me. My double bars were a pain and there flighty a in a out of everyones nest. Personally for me it would've diamonds or reddies. Reddies are my fav as u no jay. But if you wanna breed something quicker get diamonds. If you do get a breed diamies I will buy some off you hehe. Also weren't diamies your original plan? u still want longtails aswell jay? No matter what you choose tho there all great birds Aussie finches rule!

I subscribe to the whichever you like best answer. For me that is Double Bars, even if they are hard to sex.
