2712 Red-browed and Double-barred finches, Canberra, ACT

A couple of Red-browed finches and Double-barred finches bathing at the National Zoo & Aquarium in Yarralumla, Canberra, ACT, Australia.

The Red-browed finch (Neochmia temporalis) is an estrildid finch that inhabits the east coast of Australia. The species is distinguished by the bright red stripe above the eye, and bright red rump. The red-browed finch is highly sociable, and is usually seen in small flocks of 10 to 20 individuals.

The Double-barred finch (Taeniopygia bichenovii) is an estrildid finch found northern and eastern Australia. They are sometimes referred to as Bicheno's finch; and also as owl finch, owing to the dark ring of feathers around their faces. This is a 10–11 cm long munia-like finch with a white face bordered with black, brown upperparts and throat, and white underparts. The throat and underparts are separated by another black line. The wings are patterned in brown and white. These gregarious seed-eating birds build their nests in grass, a bush or low tree, and lay four eggs.
