Does any body know where I can buy a female Cutthroat Finch. In the essex area.?
Answers:
Get a copy of 'Cage & Aviary Birds' from your newsagent and scan the adds, perhaps try an add in your local pet shop if there is one. Also remember there are two sub species of Cuthroat finches which are actually quite distinctively and sufficiently different that you should avoid x breeding the 'wrong' partner. And for those looking at this page yes there is such a small finch like bird, so called because the male has a bright red 'cut' throat patch. They can be bred in the UK they will use a small nest box with a hole like a tit box, lay small white eggs but need plenty of space and distractions otherwise a broody pair tend to build sandwich nests ie.. one on top of the other without sitting the initial clutch to full term. With a bit of patience you might find an english bred bird which will help to build a domesticated strain.
