Zebra Finch
Zebra Finch - Taeniopygia guttata
Zebra Finch, Alexandra Hills Qld. 22 February 2002
This was one of my birds, but we do have these in the wild in Australia. I used to have them visit my garden when I lived in Mooloolaba, sometimes, usually with Double-barred Finches. I have no idea if they were vagrants or escapees.
The binomial name – Taeniopygia guttata – was formerly Poephila guttata.
