My dad has lots of finches around his place, but not those ones. I suspect they're a tropical bird looking at those colours. Just beautiful.
The prettiest type at my Dad's place are black with a bright red chest. That's the male. The female of the species is mostly brown and speckly, like most types of bird, it's the males that like to show off.

I need a few hundred of those for the inside of my house. That would be awesome.
Especially if they shit rainbows. That would be 10^16 awesome. I'm a short timer.

Australia? Brightly colored? I put 20 dollars on them being poisonous with large gah-nashing teeth.
