Yellow-Head Star Finches
posted Sunday, 25 March 2012, 12:22 (+0800), by Martin
When I recently posted photos of my Yellow-breasted Waxbill finches, I mentioned that some photos of some of our other finches would be coming.

Here are some photos of the pair of Yellow-head Star finches we have in our aviary. I find these more difficult to distinguish between the male and female than with any of the other finch varieties we have.

Hi Martin,
I so enjoy your photos; thanks for posting. That top one looks like it would make a great Christmas greeting card :)
Cheerio, Lynda

This one is one of my favorite breed of finch, Its bright yellow colored head and shiny scales are what makes it gorgeous.
