Fire Finch - Lagonosticta senegala

This African finch is a very popular little bird; it is a good breeder, fairly easy care, easy to sex and eye catching in the aviary. It is recommended as the first exotic finch for novice breeders and it's often available. The Fire Finch is excellent for a mixed aviary. Fires prefer to nest in the lower half of the aviary in a suitable box, basket, or they will build their own nest.
