THIS WEBSITE WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE PARROT FINCHES, THE ELEVEN SPECIES OF THE ERYTHRURA GENUS. THESE COLOURFUL AND CHARMING LITTLE BIRDS OF THE TROPICAL RAINFORESTS OF THE INDO PACIFIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN REGION ARE FAST BECOMING SCARCE IN THE WILD DUE TO THE INCREASING LOSS OF HABITAT. A COUPLE OF THE SPECIES, THE BLUE-FACED PARROT FINCH AND THE RED-HEADED PARROT FINCH ARE COMMONLY FOUND IN AVICULTURE BUT MOST SPECIES ARE NOT ESTABLISHED AND RARE. THE FORBES PARROT FINCH HAD ONCE THE DISTINCTION OF BEING THE MOST EXPENSIVE FINCH IN THE WORLD. NOW THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF DEDICATED AVICULTURALISTS, IT IS STARTING TO BECOME ESTABLISHED. EXPLORE THIS SITE TO LEARN ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL SPECIES OF PARROT FINCH AND THEN GO ON TO THE SECTION ON AVICULTURE WHERE YOU WILL GET SOME TIPS ON CARING AND BREEDING THESE BIRDS. YOU WILL FIND FAIRLY DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO BUILD AN AVIARY, A BREEDING CAGE, A BOX NEST, ETC.
