African Astrildid finches

[casehulsebosch]

Here some pics of African Astrildid finches bred by a friend of mine and photographed by another friend.

I have the ok to share these pics and the species are too nice, and some of them too rare in captivity, not to share.

At the same time I have a question for the forum owners. Why oh why is the size of the pics limited to 640 x 480 pixels while the accepted norm elsewhere is 800 x 600?
Drag and drop would even be nicer still

Cheers, Case, Tauranga, New Zealand.

Lovely photos, we are all drooling. But what is an Astrildid? Think you mean Estrildid. Probably a typo. Does your friend live in the "Land of the long white cloud"? If he does does then you are one lucky bugger!

Thanks for sharing Case,have to agree about that firefinch hen.Have we bred all the spots out of them here or is that an exceptional bird over there. Cheers Craig

I am drooling over my keyboard, beautiful birds. What makes Australia so precious and vunerable, that we cannot import such beautiful birds.

The trouble Ken is that I speak four languages and sometimes you get them mixed up.

All birds are bred and photographed in "The homeland" Holland.
