just pulled into this roadside rest area after coming out of the open speed limit near Wycliffe wells county NT in my mx5 TURBO - need I say more when I noticed 2 huge flocks of zebra finches either side of the rest area.
pretty windy conditions so just a quick video as on full zoom very hard to keep it still. I think that's was the worst part of the trip windy conditions -day after day. but prior to leaving I did leave them a 2 litre container of clean water to have a drink on me.
later when I find it I have a much longer video shot on another flock of zebras at another roadside stop near tenant creek nt.
after leaving alive springs I did see quite a few flocks of zebra finches flying across the road -some lucky some not so. but overall I'd say they are pretty safe and I'd think they are out there flying about in there many thousands.

photo 1 first zebra finches encountered on the trip. small flock at a roadside rest area on the way to Uluru nt. look closely -centre one appears to be a fawn cock. only got the one photo so that's it.
photo 2 very large flock of zebra finches at a roadside rest area half way along the open speed limit section from alice springs to wycliffe wells nt. just at this stop alone I'd say a good 200 plus birds in total -3 flocks

Zoomed in on both...and each bird in middle just looks a lighter grey to me....but that could be the camera..
