umm... close decision, it depends on your personality, but i like the first one best

 

[lithopsman]

Whoa! That's me isn't it? I personally like the first.

 

[Plantslikebugs]

NO WAY! second one rules. what a beautiful bird

 

[Capslock]

Wow, both are great shots! I think the second one looks more like what I think of when I think of finches. But the other one looks cool, too! A bit more like a hummingbird, though.

actualy the todys most closly related to  kingfishers. But... you cant tell just by looking at it.

Id love to have a tody, but thats impossible because there such specialists. They eat mostly by gleaning insects from the underside of leaves, because, for some reason, the top just wont do.

Here's a pretty one.

second one looks like a big hummingbird

 

[Finch]

yes gouldians. I couldnt find a picture of them that could be resized without distorting the picture

I like the Tody best. My daughter had Zebra finches for several years and while they are an attractive beard I came to dislike them and the mess they made in and around their cage.

 

[Finch]

Yah there messy, but it dosnt bother me. I vacume under it every 3 days so its not a big deal.

You can try irfanview to resize the larger pics. It is free. BCK knows how to use it properly. There are also Society Finches and Hooded Nuns.

OK the votes are in. The Tody won.

Thanks everyone
