Have a look at this clip. If only we had these cardinals here in Aust what a nice looking bird, the mutation is not bad either.

Yes, indeed a beautiful mutation. In Australia we only have one type of cardinal, Red Crested Cardinal. Total numbers left of the Red Crested Cardinals is not known for sure, but they are very rare. A large Australia wide survey of finches and softbills found just a couple of people owned them.
Life in Port Macquarie is the ultimate Aussie sea change lifestyle.
