I am Stacy from SouthEast Michigan!

Hello all!

My name is Stacy i am 33 and from South eastern Michigan. I have been an avid cat lover all of my life and never thought i'd love another animal as much. My fiance rescued a baby sparrow last year and we hand fed it and gave it lots of love and dedication. Now she is almost a year old and healthy as ever!

A couple months ago we were in the pet store and i noticed in the finch cage,a couple birds twice their size. That's how i was introduced to the Java finch! We bought one and gave him his own cage because our sparrow is a meanie bossy brat! We showered him with toys and treats but he didn't move or "speak" much. A few weeks later we went to the store and seen the other Java was still there. He didn't look so great. I told my fiance we HAVE to get him! Huey needs a companion! So we did and right away Huey started moving around more and being playful and "chucking" a lot more :) We just recently found out they are both males because Huey is starting to do the "Stevie Wonder" warning dance/sway.

These birds are amazing to have! They are not loud,which is important because my fiance works midnights,and they are easy to care for:) But now our problem is we need to seperate the boys because they are starting to fight. I have been trying to find 2 female java's but i have had no luck:( We seen some at this trade center place in mt clemens michigan but their birds looked HORRIBLE AND NOT TAKEN CARE OF. They wanted $60 per bird. That's ridiculous because we got ours for $25 each and they usually run $20-$40 tops! We are really hoping to find 2 white female's for our rg male Java's. That is why i joined to be honest. If anyone knows of a place that sells Java's anywhere close to Se michigan PLEASE let me know!!

Welcome! I'm from SE Michigan as well - but I don't know much about the finches so I can't be of much help there. I do love finches though and someday I'd like a couple, I love their beeping.
