of the very small finches. These little birds are lots of fun
to watch in colony groupings. We have seen them stack into a
pyramid of 12 to 15 birds with the stack being 3 to 4 birds
high. If you are looking for an inexpensive smaller bird for
your collection, you would not go wrong with a pair of these.
It is somewhat difficult to determine
the sex of these birds. The primary difference is in the
amount of gloss on the crown, with the male having more of the
glowing green feathers in a strong light. |
