Thanks They were from a colleague at work, he kept budgies and finches, separately, but decided to go back to pigeons

These are a few of my birds, as I mentioned in my intro, I was told what the birds were but to be honest I haven't got a clue what's what Here goes

I'm in South Molton near Barnstaple. Seems to be a habit of mine choosing hobbies that there are no local clubs or decent stockist but I could get fish by post. Although I was told that there is a bird show in Bideford next Sunday

Hi Emmy Got a couple of green canaries with the finches, 2 cocks unfortunately so will be looking for females as well as some quails. Beware budgies are noisy compared to finches, ie screech instead of cheeping. Although we do have about 24 of them. Friends often refer to our house as the zoo because of our pets. 1 cat 1 dog 2 guinea pigs (daughters) 1 bearded dragon 2 aquariums - although I just put a 9 tank breeding system into storage in the garage. 1 1000litre pond And the youngest is waiting, patiently, to get some degus - told him there would be no more pets until he got his degus and then I sneeked in the finches.

Thanks Dan Had great advice from the forum members when we had a bad start about a year ago. Will need some help identifying the types I've got, although the prvious owner told me which were what types, I've forgotten or been confused by my son. Wherw would be the best place to some pics up for identication?

Hi Bit of a long story of how I got into zebras. Been more into tropical fish for years but the eldest grew an interest in finches. However after a bad start of losing 4 zebbies he decided that budgies were going to be more suitable, as he really wanted birds which could be hand tamed. It was good fortune that a work colleagues husband decided that he was going to give up his budgies and return to pigeons so after building an aviary I purchased his stock. A couple of months later the colleagues husband mentioned that he was going to get rid of his finches in the new year, he was keeping them to sort of pay the keep for the pigeons but decided he needed the aviary space for the pigeons as well. I sort of said I might be interested in the New Year as it would give me time to organised the garden to fit a second aviary. However a few weeks ago he approached me and asked if I would be interested in taking the finches early i.e. in a couple of weeks time so muggins said ok. Spent this weeks holiday from work building an aviary for them and whilst I was at it and had the wood my daughter told me I might as well make the guinea pig run I had been promising to build all summer.
