| 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). |
