Hi I am from Western Australia.
We have two canarys and have just purchased a pair of plum headed finches. Our finches are currently housed in my parents aviary until ours in finished as our canary cage is too small for any more birds.
I have been told I need to get a license for the finches is this correct? (my parents have one so they are ok for now either way.)
My parents have a variety of finches, robins, wrens, and turqs.

Hi and Welcome Cyra  We have members here that are from Western Australian they should answer the license question  Canary's are great used to breed them  If you take any pic's once they settle down in a couple of days, look forward to seeing them as well as your parents birds love those Wrens |

Hi and welcome Cyra.  I just googled the Plum head Finch and they are gorgeous. Yes you do need a Avicultural Licence for them. All you have to do is go to CALM and fill in a application for the licence, the fee is only $10 a year. Good luck and cannot wait for pictures.  |

I went and checked on them today, they are settling in nicely at there temporary home. I was also informed that I will be inheriting my parents pink and grey galah, Jack. He is approx 2yrs old so there is a very good chance he will out live my parents. |
