:clap: Awsome! Yours?
What a beautiful colour combination. :soppy:
I know you said albino, but an albino should not have the red throat.
Are their eyes pink or normal?
What country are they from?
I am interested in purchasing any of the more unusual Lonchura species and/or their subspecies. Particularly the Asian Munias or New Guinea Mannikins. If you have some and wish to sell them, PM me with the type, quantity and price

I will buy related or unrelated birds. I am also happy to organise and pay freight from anywhere in Australia.

Interesting to see all 3 are males. What a way to start breeding a new? mutation. Any more info available concerning these birds.
I am jealous, in that my cutthroats only had small clutches, 2-3 eggs, with only on average of 1 chick per nest. Since disposed all of them due to there poor fertility.
Please update us all on what happens with these birds.
Life in Port Macquarie is the ultimate Aussie sea change lifestyle.

Finchman......you need to acknowledge the source of the pic or have written permission from the photographer when posting due to copyright. Otherwise we will have to remove it.

A link to the picture would be fine.
