Aussie Finch Forum

How cool are these firetails , I was amazed at how people friendly my reds are but now Ive added a pair of the most laid back yellows to my collection.
These fellas sat on my partners hand for ages when he was transferring them to their new home , he actually had to shake them off .
I thought it was out of fear but today when doing the daily food / water jobs I was able to pat the girls wing for quite a while , her only reaction was to look at me as if to MORE.
I cant get over how relaxed these little fellas are , and how easily they settle in to their new surroundings.
Im sold , these are my absolute favourites.

Hey Deb they are a very nice finch and great to see there nice and quite, i have seen them around and all the ones i have seen were quite as well.

come on Deb, play fair. you cant brag about new birds without posting some pics

OK OK i will try to figure out this photo business ....I need a challenge yikes.
next day off work Ill get some pics happening ....cheers

if you want Deb, email me the pic's you want resized and I will do that for you and then email them back

There are very nice finches Deb. Looking forward to pics

they are a lovely bird emblemas.Sounds like you have a very nice pair Deb.Maybe a good photo for the comp.

thanx , yeah they are nice ...the girl is a real sweety and lands on my hand without hesitation , the boy doesnt seem as friendly but doesnt dissappear to the nest box when I go near the cage like the stars and orange breasts do.

the stars should calm down in time but the orange breasts are nearly always very flighty
