Australian Finches
Painted Finches
The Painted Finches that we have for sale at Broken Head Aviaries are some of the nicest stock that have been available for a while. The red colouration on the fronts of the Painted finches is vivid red, and covers a large portion of the chest. All painted finches for sale come from the parents that you see in the photos on this page, as well as in the photos section of the site.
Painted finches may not be available in the cooler months of the year, but please contact us to check.
Gouldian Finches
In my opinion, it is hard to to go past normal blackheads when comparing types of Gouldian Finches. No matter what head colours I breed black, red or yellow, blackhead hens will be the mothers of 95% of all the good birds.
I have already paired up the Gouldians for this season. Pairs of normal blackheads, blackhead white breasts and one pair red white breast cock to blackhead normal hen. Bred an outstanding blackhead white breasted Gouldian cock last year and I will put the photo of the finch on site soon – he is a special.
The parents of that particular Goouldian Finch are the normals in the photos accompanying this note. Both parents were split white breasts.
Masked Finches
We have Masked finches at Broken Head Aviaries. We have stock available for purchase, mostly from the same bloodlines as the masked finch.
Pictorella Finches
Pictorella finch is a brownish rusty colour from the top of his head down either side of his black face - normally this colour is grey.
Diamond Finches
The Diamond Finch is hard to sex in immature birds, but when fully mature the males develop a claret red colour of fleshy rim around the eye. The Diamond Finch hen often has a smaller rim and is a lighter, pink colour – the first thing I look for when trying to establish pairs.
