This Lavender Waxbills email group will facilitate communication between breeders, owners, fanciers and others with information on this African finch... the beautiful Estrilda caerulescens.

On this list, we'll share our personal avicultural experiences - both high points and low - and help each other toward maximum success with breeding the lavender waxbill.

Within the United States, this group will be used to share and record the locations of this CITES listed species and their fanciers, in order that each enthusiast might acquire lavenders of their own to enjoy.

We hope to bring strong, healthy birds together into prolific breeding pairs, and protect the lovely lavender waxbills from gradually disappearing from American aviculture.

We will always be kind to each other and take extended off topic conversations elsewhere.
