Hi Aynsley,

Welcome to BirdForum!

Someone has lost their pet . . . that's a Yellow-fronted Canary (Serinus mozambicus), a popular cagebird originally from Africa

Hi Aynsley,

On behalf of Admina nd the Moderators welcome to Bird Forum :t:

Just as well Michael was about as that one would have had me stumped as well. Makes a change seeing something exotic on the feeders.

You'll notice that it has a really bright yellow rump patch...its also sometimes called Green-singing Finch
