Hi Riza - Salamat Malam. We're almost locals - I live in the Philippines. Your countrymen smuggle a few parrots this way but never finches. Do you get hold of the local birds? While there are lots of munias and quite a few parrot finches I'm thinking of the mountain firetail from West Papua. It's a bird that facinates me as do all the fire-tails but it's a species beyond my reach but I'd be interested to know if it has been kept and bred in captivity.

Thank you greg. Ya , i keep local bird, such murai batu, jalak suren. I keep canary and lovebird too . Commonly we're here choose to keep bird because the ability to sing, but there are also keep for the colour and body shape ;)
I don't really know about finchs or parrots from papua. i've heard people in papua not really have a tradition to keep bird for hobby . Bird still safety in their habitat . But because there is a demand for special type of bird, they kept , sell and transported to other island like Java. In Java, bird from papua like cacatua and few type of parrots has been kept and bred in captivity

me yoo - interesting birds, never seen one before and nobody here has ever heard about it.

Welcome to the forum. If you are into song birds I can understand why you keep canaries. I do too. I also find the song of the Java and cuban finches very pleasant.
