| Also
known as the Zebra Waxbill finch. Obviously these should not
be confused with the common Zebra finch from Australia. In
recent years these beautiful little birds have become extremely
scarce. If it were not for the dedication of a limited number
of experienced breeders we would not be able to enjoy their presence
in our midst. The male sits in
front of the hen. It is easily distinguishable because of the
red brow above the eye. The amount of gold color on the breast
seems to vary in intensity from one bird to another. |
