Vik's Gallery:   Zebra Finch (10/10)

PASSERIFORMES: Estrildidae

Taeniopygia guttata  

Zebra Finches are spectacular little birds, but sometimes, when you've searched for hours for something else about the same size and every time you close in on a possibility, it turns out to be another Zebra Finch, perhaps you can be forgiven for cursing them just a little.

But look at this female. They are beautiful little birds. How can you not be enchanted by them?
