Serinus canicollis flavivertex

A subspecies of the Cape Canary
Latin name: Serinus canicollis flavivertex

Description:

Habitat: East Africa and South Africa. Nests in bushes, grasslands and scrubland. The male has predominantly yellow plumage. The flavivertex subspecies has no grey.
The female, as with many species, is more drab. Her plumage is predominantly greenish. Although rarely kept in captivity, this species is nevertheless particularly interesting. I recommend using small aviaries or spacious cages to ensure successful breeding.
