Very happy with my newest finches:

They wouldn't go into the sun for photos, but the cock was hovering around catching little gnatty things and posed upside down and sideways for me.

These are a bit blurry, but cool...

They seem interested in this hollow, though I thought they would build their own.

They have been defending it vigorously, though the man assured me they were from a placid strain and they have yet to commit serious violence....

Matty they are stunning. I would love to own a pair but I don't have the required room for them.

nice birds matty, thanks for sharing the pics.
hope they behave for you too.
i think the "gnatty things" may be flying aphids, which they like, and are around in profusion at the moment.
the canola crops are flowering now and the corresponding aphid explosion is happening, look for milk thistles and they will be covered in them.
