The Red Crested Finch is a stunning looking bird native to South America ... Argentina, Brasil, Bolivia, Peru and further north, they live in pairs in the summer but in winter they band together on uncultivated fields of thistles, obviously because it is so beautiful the Red Crested Finch is eagery sought after to be kept in cages and aviarries.
The Pileated Finch is another Brazilian Finch also found up to Venezuela and Columbia, again very attractive and another good example of the very attractive birds to be found in South America.
