Hi all. I am new to this forum but not new to finches

[Nrg800]

I can't imagine you can get any native birds wild caught. But I'm pretty sure that all the feral species are wild caught, or from wild-caught stock ;)

[Finchman1]

I have the following Lonchura species and/or their subspecies
Javan Munias - 5 pair
Tri-coloured Munias - 5 pair,one pair on eggs
White headed Munias 3 pair and 3 young birds

Hi Tuss,

you might like to check out my 2010 price list - it basically has all the finches available in Australia at the moment. It may have excluded Grey Headed Silverbills (Lonchura griseicapilla) because I couldn't get any data on them (but I have seen these in AU).

I also have a full list of available species if you want it.

Hi and welcome

[Lonchura]

I only have Javas and Bengos at the moment. But don't knock them. They are both great birds. And this hobby is about the birds you love. And about preserving all finches.

So True!!
What type of Javas do you have? The Blue wild/type colour are becoming very hard to find in Queensland, another beautiful finch that is underrated, undervalued and seems to be disappearing from collections everywhere in Australia. Does anyone know Why?
