I was just wondering if there was ever any record of this species being kept in Australia or abroad. I havent found any info on the internet. I saw these very regularly when I was backpacking around Africa particularly in Uganda about 10 years ago. One of the nicest finches Ive seen.

I've never heard of them being kept in Australia.
