I recently purchased a pair of these bird's , believe they're similar in their care and breeding as silverbill's .
Any forum member's keep and/or breed these ?
Regards , Mick M.

Unfortunatly these are not available in Australia.
Good luck with yours though.

As they've said it's not in Australia but it's part of the spice finch group so I don't imagine that it's difficult to breed - just difficult to sex.
Image Lonchura molacca from Gerhard's finches and more Blogg which does have some breeding information.
