Plumhead Finch - Aidemasyne modesta

The Plumhead (or Cherry Finch) is a native of eastern Australia where it is usually
found in flocks close to water, in reed-beds and in grasslands. This finch was nearly
lost to New Zealand but has since made a comeback. Plumheads like to forage on the aviary floor and mix well with other species. Plumheads particularly like seeding grasses and live food.
