| One
of the more economical "exotic" finches for your
collection. These hardy and playful birds seem to fit into any
avian environment. Since they are smaller finches, it seems
logical to place them with others of generally their size, such as
the Cordon Bleu, Owl, Swee, Strawberry and others in that size
range. The male and female are
very similar in appearance. In talking to breeders that have
had experience with this species, the most obvious difference is in
the amount and intensity of color in the vent area. Males seem
to be a brighter orange than hens. In the photo the hen is
sitting on the perch. |
