The Zebra Finch is one of Australia’s most widespread and familiar finches, well adapted to the arid and semi-arid environments of the continent. Recognizable by its black-and-white barred rump and bright orange-red bill, this small, social bird is commonly seen in flocks near water sources throughout inland Australia.
