What Branchez said goes for me too. Can you post pics? Or is that only once you have served your 5 post apprenticeship? What other finches are you keeping?

Sounds normal, but if the green is a bit on the darkish side & the colour under the throat is more pale orange & orange tails they may be sea-greens. Normals have green bodies & red or reddish-orange under the throat as fledglings and red tail.

Thanks guys
it sounds like I sit and wait like my gouldians, its part of the excitement of breeding. I have a large flight aviary as well as my breeding aviary and I breed a mixture of different finches for personal enjoyment.
