J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 This was one of my favourite birds. She was as steady as a rock and would actually take food from my fingers when sat on the nest. She was a great rearer too.....thought you might like to see this unusual piccy...JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Well done JD. Not a beginners bird and even for the expert a hard species to get breeding. Keep us informed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have her anymore Neil, i got out of the birds a good while ago now.But some good memories still remain.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Ok JD, I presumed it was recent as it's the time of the year for breeding. Pity, if you were breeding chaffinches you must have been good at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
