Red Faced Parrot Finch - Erythrura psittacea

This boldly coloured finch comes from the forest margins of New Caledonia. It is a
very popular finch and is easy to obtain. Red faced parrot finches are
excellent for mixed finch collections as they are striking birds, easy care, good
breeders and non aggressive so can be kept as a colony also. As they can be very
difficult to sex this is sometimes a good option. They must not be kept with other
parrot finch varieties as they will interbreed.
