What is interesting about the Gouldian finch ( aka Rainbow Finch) is the Males can have three different colored heads.

Wow, Kokopup! Thank you for pointing that out to me!

I haven't seen very many birds around here lately, even sparrows. I'll be glad when the weather gets better and the birds return!

It had to be a male because usually the females in the animals, aren't as pretty as the males are.

Its a true fact, that in humans females are prettier than males, and in animals males are prettier than females.

I have met some ugly women and some few handsome men.

Yes, that is quite the bird, hope you did plenty of research on him and take care of him well. Although I can not tell you what kind of bird he is, I can at least tell you he probibly lives in Africa or South America. Alot of times, I wish wonderfull birds such as this one lived in the U.S.A, but then I think they do, and they live right in my own home.

Lilac-breasted Roller

Had to see where they live - "The Lilac-breasted Roller, Coracias caudatus, is a member of the roller family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, preferring open woodland and savanna; it is largely absent from treeless places." and "The sexes are alike in coloration." for once!

Oh My! Such beautiful birds... have never seen any like that before on tv or anywhere. Those colors are spectacular!

I'm lucky to live in the country where we have lots of different birds and I feed them sunflower seeds... Kay in NC
