Aussie Finch Forum

Gday folks,

I went to Sugar Loaf Reservoir Nth Est of Melbourne yesterday not far from my house, to take some photos and was very excited to come across a red browed finch!! The first wild finch i have seen I'm pretty sure so it was a good find. I had never seen one up there before so i was very excited especially because i want one for my mixed collection.

Here are some photos of it. I'm pretty sure it's a cock bird.






Cheers AB

Great to hear, Great shots . Only the one or could you hear/see others?

Surprisingly i could only see the one, i tried to follow it around to see if there were more but from what i could see just the one. I'm sure there would of been more some were there, just didn't see them. And I'm not familiar with the red browed call because i havn't heard it before so cant help you on the hearing part

here's some redbrow pics from my work

Great pics, the aviary looks well planted out.

yep about 900m square and filled with trees, grasses and shrubs

I love erm to me there the best looking bird around and one of the first birds i ever got. There my wifes favourite also. Been told never to be with out them as long as we have birds and im not complaining.

Theres so many along the coast i could watch them for hours..plenty around sydney aswell
