For some reason, these birds seem straight out of one of those tacky greeting cards. That is to say, these guys are so cute and attractive that they basically look too cliched. That human imposed constraint aside, these guys so marked sexual dimorphism and both the males and females are tacky. And outside their breeding season, they are found in small parties that go about their business looking for seeds and fruits with the energy that is typical of finches.
