Pin-tailed Parrot Finch

Erythrura Prasina
These finches are green with blue heads and two different color phases: a red breast or the less common yellow breast.
They hail from Thailand, Java, Sumatra, and most of Southeast Asia where they are sometimes viewed as a pest due to the damage they do to rice crops.
Females use grass, coconut husks, and moss to build nests high up in the trees to lay 3-6 eggs.
