Those Fire Finch are absolutely gorgeous! Soft, subtle colors; and so chubby! They are definitely getting their fair share of seeds!

The male Weaver is certainly bold-looking, too! Great snap of him.

I'm glad you encouraged readers not to engage in the trade of birds. While I would love to keep a parrot, the thought of locking him up to enjoy him is too much for me to contemplate.

Thanks for these terrific photos! It's great to see birds from all over the world, including South Africa.

Cheers!
