REGULAR GREY JAVAS $75 per pair, This is the original wild type, grey with a black head and tail, white cheek patches, and a soft dark grey color to the body. Contrary to what you might read, these Javas breed freely, it is only wild caught birds which are hard to breed, and since we no longer import Javas in to the US, I assure you all are captive bred and totally free breeding birds. These are sexable by beak and eye ring color. GREY JAVAS (WILD CAUGHT STOCK) SOLD OUT These are immaculate, because they are decended from THE VERY LAST WILD JAVAS TO ENTER THE US This strain of Grey Javas is of impecable color without a single trace of white anywhere on the bird. There has never been other color influence in their ancestory. OUTSTANDING COLOR! IMPORTED EXHIBITION GREY JAVAS( POSSIBLE SPLIT FOR SILVER) VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY $100 per pair. These Javas are descended from European birds. They have superior size and impeccable color. Very similar in appearance to the Wild caught stock but in general they are much LARGER birds. PIED JAVAS Mottled Pied's SOLD OUT Pieds also known in texts as (Calico) are available in two forms. Those which are considered Saddle Back are mostly white with only a "V" shaped patch of grey on back, and Mottled are those in which the birds are darker Javas and are splashed all over with white markings. Both Pieds are quite distinct from each other, and to the best of my experiences they are different genetic mutations, both are recessive to normal grey. WHITE JAVA $70 per pair White Javas emerge from the nest with some grey flecking on head and wings, but lose this as they mature into solid white birds with red beak and legs. Whites are sexable by beak size and color. RED EYE WHITE JAVAS $100 per pair Red Eyed Whites are actually Fawn whites and although they resemble an albino bird, they are not true albinos, only a combination of white and Fawn! The bright red eye really stands out even at a distance on these birds. They sometimes have fawn flecking as youngsters but loose it when they mature; Fawns or Cinnamons
have a body color which is a soft creamy beige; This is a combination of Pied and Cinnamon. Its an attractive mottling of light fawn and White, They can be very attractive birds if you like Pieds. Some Saddle Back Cinnamons will available later this year.

This beautiful little finch is one of the few free breeding "Nuns", and in fact all of them that are in captivity are bred in captivity as they come from Australia, does not export birds. I struggle with this finch but the struggle is worth it, because they are such attractive birds. These manakins are relatively good layers and some pairs breed well. Now I breed mine as a colony, in a large planted flight. I tried small cages but had mixed success. They seem much happier in a flight, so that's where they will stay. The young a very slow to color up, taking 5-6 months to reach adult plumage. Sexing is difficult as males sing and females do not, but there might be some color differences too that I have observed. Ok, so I rarely have any for sale but if I have a good season some are available, as always, please check with me first. About my Gouldian Finches
