I guess what I was hinting at was that this is not the wild-type. A bird this colour in the wild would be likely to be picked off PDQ by a raptor, like a yellow budgie in a flock of normals.
Also, the other pic is of one of those mutants favoured by aviculturists.
But I agree, a welcome change! Like a cockatiel from one of my neighbours, which spent a day in a big gum at the back of my yard.
A beautiful shot smp! :clap: I agree that it is probably an aviary escapee, and if so, I wish it luck - and a few other Zebra Finches for company! :-O Thanks for sharing it with us.
Great shot. I agree it's an escapee. I would say it's also an adult because the bill is orange, all juveniles regardless of plumage color have black bills.
