Just curious to see if anyone else here keeps birds,

I only have a pair of red-faced parrot finches for now, anyway here's a couple of pics.







Upload some pics of your birds if you keep them including all types of fowl

Edit: thread title change.

Nice!
I don't have any finches, but I do have 2 cockatiels.

Nice birds, whats with the "parrot" bit in the name?

Heintz.G

I think it's to do with the colouring, red and 3 different shades of green the photos don't do them justice.

Mooo

Love the finches
Oh dear did you say fowl Look out for photo overload, I adore my chookens typically photobucket is being a total knob lol I'll add my pics soon as I shake this program up a bit

Mooo

Here's some of mine.
First photo is of our hand raised Green Cheek Conure being anti-social and hiding in his 'snuggy'.
Second photo and third is of one of the two pairs of breeding Crimson-bellied Conures we have and the fourth is of the same pair on the left and three of their grown up babies on the right.


The other pair is currently sitting on eggs and declined a photoshoot.

Lovely Parrot Finches Heintz, I was lucky enough to briefly see one of the Blue-faced species in Papua New Guinea, quite beautiful.

Wow, they're beautiful, aren't they heaps exxy? Or are the sun conures the dear ones, lovely birds m8................

By exxy what do you mean? Sun conures are really loud but they are a seperate genus Aratinga, different from these ones, Pyrrhura, which are typically much quieter. All of them are quite moody though, Wizzy will let you know what he wants and when.

The males of the Crimson-bellied's also put on quite a display whenever you fiddle with their cages, puffing up the feathers on their heads and dancing (swaying side to side and other random movements) to try and intimidate you. You can kinda see it in the first photo of the pair, the male is all puffed up and leaping forwards to bite my phone.

Frayk

Sorry m8, I meant expensive to buy

Mooo

Very interactive birds sweet natured mostly

Thanks Moo, yeah they used to be ridiculous Frayk, around 15,000 a pair when they were first imported but they are relatively easy to breed so most go for around 200 for a juvenile now.

Frayk

Aha.... ok, lovely birds, love the shot of the one in the snuggy Are"nt birds truly amazing creatures.
