A pair of Zebra finches; from the ground it looked like they might've been trying to build a nest up there. When looking at the pics though, I'm sure the male was just fascinated with his mirror-image.

ReplyDeleteThe Zebra Finches are just so cute Carole... wonderful images
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tex about the Zebra finches. I have seen them in the pet store. But, I prefer seeing the wild birds in your post, they are beautiful. Have a great day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the Zebra Finches! Colorful faces!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds. I was fascinated with the flocks of zebra finches I saw out west a few years ago. They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteMany birds to visit the back yard but my favourite are the little fellows but they are hard to see in the leaves, we have a family of wrens that come to see us every year.

ReplyDeleteI am still in Germany but was able to get on line today and moderate some comments. Wedding celebrations are winding down now :)
Beautiful birds that I do not see here around Brisbane. The Jacky Winter is a plain little thing but I have always wanted to see one for some reason!
ReplyDeleteThe Zebra Finches are so cool! I've never heard of them. And I'd say he is really admiring himself.

ReplyDeleteI think I have seen Zebra Finches in pet shops here. You get to enjoy them being free. It doesn't look like much is holding that nest in place.
