CR Finches raises the most colorful little birds in Alabama. These finches are called Lady Gouldian Finches. They are a very popular pet because of their brillant colors. Additionally, these little finches have a cool dispostition. It's funny, because when you show interest in them, they will examine you with the same interest; as if to say, "that's an interesting fellow."

The following are some cool photos of Lady Gouldian Finches:

*Disclaimer: These are not my original pictures; if they are yours and you wish for them to removed or sited, please e-mail or call me and I will do so immediately.*

From left to right, the first photo is of a pair of Normal Blackheads; the female is on the left side and her mate is on the right.

The second photo is a Normal Redhead male.

The third photo is a Blackheaded Dilute. As you can see, his head appears grayish in color, rather than dark black, like in normal Gouldians, but we still call him a "blackhead." Although there are no female dilutes, female Gouldians with grey heads will appear a much lighter grey or cream-colored; they are called "blackheads" as well.

In the first photo, can you guess the types of Gouldians in this trio? From left to right, we have a Normal (Green-back) Redhead, Purplebreast male; a Normal Yellowhead (Orange in appearance), Purplebreast male; and, a Normal Blackhead, Purplebreast male.

The second photo is a pair of Redheaded (heads are pinkish in appearance), Purplebreasted Blue-backs; I bet the male is the one with the darker purple breast.

The third photo is a Normal Redheaded, Whitebreasted male.

As you can see, Gouldians are all very colorful and fun to have around.
