Name: African Red Head (Amandina erythrocephala) Origin: Africa Habitat: Open desert grasslands, semi-arid and arid shrublands, arid savanna, croplands and farmyards. Sexing: Easy. Males have the red colored head throughout their entire adult life. Breeding: Moderate Social: The Red-headed Finch may be bred as single pairs or colony of three or more pairs. They are large finches and may not mix well in smaller species unless housed in a very large aviary. Housing: Aviary or Large flight only. Diet: A basic dry seed mix, grit mix and clean fresh water at all times. Fresh greens are a plus and provide extra protein during the breeding season. I use Bevos Bug Mix.
