Red-crested Cardinal: Native to South America, this bird has a bright red head, crest, face, chin and upper breast. The upperparts are gray with an incomplete white collar that nearly meets at the back of the neck. It has white underparts, a light gray bill and gray legs and feet. It mainly feeds on plant seeds, fruits, berries and insects.
Finches can be very dependent on seeds but ideally a finch should eat more pellets than seed. Spray millet should be available at all times and an egg food should be added to the diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables including carrots, lettuce, apples, oranges, and dandelion can be eaten by your bird.
