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.

Yeegads that finch looks just like my bathroom!! For some reason I painted every unique surface plane a different color and they all seem to be covered by that Finch.


Oh and coolcat, thanks for that reminder. I knew I'd seem those finches somewhere before. (5 of my monitors)

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