Зебровая амадина

One of the most popular cage birds worldwide, zebra finches are small, seed-eating songbirds native to arid and semi-arid grasslands across mainland Australia and the Lesser Sunda Islands. Males display distinctive orange cheek patches, red beaks, and barred flanks. Highly social, living in flocks that may number thousands in the wild, zebra finches are fundamental model organisms in neuroscience research on vocal learning, song development, and the neural basis of learning and memory.
