A few of you knew our budgie had recently passed away. I debated about getting another budgie but thought about trying something different. Well, today I picked up my "different" birds.

I got a red head male and black head female gouldian finch. Plus 2 male society finches. Pictures aren't the greatest as I wanted to take some pictures but quick ones as they are settling down still from the trip home. I feel like Noah's Ark here now with the menagerie of animals I have.:p

Male on the right, female on the left.

Well, let's just say that I have to go buy a squirt bottle today! I came into the room this morning and saw a big suspicious lump under the bird cover!:mad: Yes, Squeak had burrowed under the sheet and was hunkered down on the top of the bird cage.

Today, the cats are out of the room to give the birds a stress free day seeing as how they only got here yesterday.

The societies are called Frick and Frack, I have yet to name the gouldians?:confused:

They are not yet a year old and will live up to 8 years.
