The Blue faced Parrot finch originated in Cape York Australia. They live on the edges of rain forests venturing into the grasslands. The blue of the face is more extensive and more lustrous in the male.
Females are slightly smaller with rounder heads.
In addition, only the male emits the trilling song. The Blue faced Parrot finch is a very active bird that needs room to fly. I use a four foot cage for breeding and house them in large aviaries when not breeding. They get along well with other birds and do well in a mixed aviary. If kept in a colony situation, be sure to house 3 or more pair together.
