The strawberry finch is an attractive sparrow-sized bird, originating from Asia. Characterized with colorful plumage, a vivid red bill, and a rounded black tail, it is a popular choice in aviculture. With rapid wing beats, they prefer to fly in small flocks, descending into clumping grasses, where they are not spotted easily. Unlike the females, the males sport a scarlet breeding plumage (during April-November).
When in color (which occurs seasonally), the male appears as follows: almost the entire bird becomes scarlet, lower belly and vent is black, tail is black (the underside of the tail feathers are edged in white), flanks, wings and tail coverts have white spots, the beak is red, the lores/eye stripes are black with a white stripe just below each eye, and the feet are pink.
When out of color ("eclipse plumage"), the cock appears similar to the hen: reddish brown with a few white spots, the throat and mid-belly being a creamy off-yellow, the sides of the body being light brown-gray, pink legs, red beak, black eye stripe. Unlike hens, cocks out of breeding plumage retain spots on the uppertail coverts, the white-edging on the underside of the tail feathers, and the spots on his greater coverts are larger than the hen's. As the hen enters breeding condition, her tail feathers may become more black and her chest may develop a tinge of yellow-orange.
