Description
We Are Family. Greeting card and/or poster, mug, tote and more. Great gift item.
A family of Spice Finches are having a discussion on the fence. The song lyrics of Sister Sledge - "We Are Family" serves as the text for this image. It appears as if the parents of the birds are teaching the "kids" to sing. Happy and joyful is this group as the juvenile birds (without the white chests) are carefully listening and responding to their lesson.
Spice Finch, or Nutmeg Mannikin is an introduced species. Popular as a caged bird, some escaped or were released into the wild in Sydney and Brisbane in the 1930s. It is a small plump finch with a dark brown face and throat, The upper body is chestnut brown and the underparts are white with dark brown scalloping, while the legs, feet and the large, deep bill are grey. Juveniles are paler above and buff-brown below. The Nutmeg Mannikin flicks its wings and sways its tail constantly. It is usually seen in small flocks.
