Where to get finches

[FinchORI]

Hello! I am new to finch owning, and I am thinking of getting a mixed finch aviary in the future. Where I live (Massachusetts) there are only Zebra and Society finches available easily, and the only way to get the more uncommon finches I want is through shipping. What are your guys thoughts on that?

@BrianB Ships some birds, he should know something about it.

I would contact the National Finch and Softbill Society and see if they know of any breeders that are reasonably close to you. Here is a link to their website: Home - NFSS | National Finch & Softbill Society .

I’ve had some finches shipped to me from Florida and they did really well. I’m pretty sure the aviary they came from has closed. There are a lot of breeders in the south so maybe start there. You could use birdsnow.com just take a close look at the ad and if anything fishy then don’t bother.
