Saffron Finch

The Saffron Finch is also known as the Brazilian Bunting, which gives us a pretty good clue as to the origins of this charming bird... which is obviously found in South America.

They place their nests in holes, they have somewhat violent courtship rituals and these finches love insects for food.

Saffron Finches are pretty much yellow or saffron colored, with black tips and extremities, they breed well in aviaries and cages and as such are sought after by aviarists.
