Field Notes
Description:
Males have vibrant red heads and chests while the females are duller. The resemblance to the Cutthroat finch is unmistakable. The Red Head and Cut-throat Finch are the only members of the genus Amadina. Amadinas with their heavy beaks resemble members of the Lonchura, so they are actually more closely related to the Pytilias such as the Melba finch.
Habitat:
This finch lives at Tulsa Zoo, Tulsa, OK, USA.
