Hello

I see many of you have many species of birds and I was wondering if you could possibly help me ID a few finches I captured recently?

Also I got a butterfly that I cant ID either. Not a bird but a creature of flight. I think the butterfly is a blue morpho but im not positive. Thank you so much for any help you may be able to give me.

All of your birds are very beautiful and Im doing research now. Might get one.

Here are the pics.

Thanks.

BEAUTIFUL photographs--the resolution, color, and quality are fantastic. I'm looking to get a new camera and wonder if you would mind telling us what make/model you used? Many thanks--

Topmost photo is of a SHAFT-TAIL FINCH.
2bd is of a LADY GOULDIAN FINCH.
3rd foto is of a DIAMOND FIRE-TAILED FINCH.

These beautiful finches are all native to Australia
and are commonly kept aviary birds by Finch Fanciers
here in the Philippines.

Thank you so much! I knew if anyone could ID these finches it would be you guys. Thanks.

I mentioned considering a ring neck but I cant decide what color. Their tempers concern me too but you cant believe everything you hear. Ringnecks are just so 'clean' looking. Sleek. They also seem smart to me.

I pet sit for a lady in Aug that has two ringnecks. She doesnt let them mate because she keeps them in seperate cages. I will be able to decide better after that experience.

Ok off to class. Thanks again you guys.

For these pics I used either my sons point n shoot or my rebel dslr. I cant remember which. Looks like the Canon.
