RED-BROWED FINCH: Neochmia temporalis 11 cm
The Red-browed Finch
is endemic to moist regions of eastern Australia. Usually
it forms groups that live within small areas for most of the year. Red-browed
Finches live in rainforest clearings, eucalypt forests and woodlands, heathlands, mangroves and in suburban areas. They feed mostly on
grass seed but also take some other plant seeds, small fruits and some insects. Groups can easily be seen
eating grass seed in the clearing at Chambers Wildlife
Rainforest Lodge.
