My Red Headed Parrot Finch Pair
I'm still not 100% convinced that I have a pair of these finches, they move so fast that you rarely get a chance to compare their colouration.  They are lively little characters and a joy to keep even if they are not a breeding pair.

I have to say that they are my second favorite bird in my collection (with the Gouldians taking out first place).
