Blue Bunting

A subspecies of the Peony Bullfinch
Latin name: Pyrrhula pyrrhula cineracea

Description:

This bullfinch is predominantly grey; the male lacks red on the breast. The breast and back are bluish-grey in males. Females resemble the European bullfinch, though with more russet brown on the breast.
I have two breeding pairs for the 1999 season. These birds, which are particularly calm and close to their keeper, have habits similar to those of the European Bullfinch.

I would like to find out more about this magnificent bullfinch; please do not hesitate to share your experiences with me.
