Approximately 4.75 inches.
Blue-Faced Parrotfinches are monomorphic, which means males and females are difficult to distinguish visually.
DNA testing is available if you need to confirm the bird’s gender.
If there is no gender option listed for a bird on our website, the species may be monomorphic. In these cases, DNA testing can be used to determine the bird’s gender.
DNA testing is an additional $149 per bird. Testing may add 3–6 or more weeks to the estimated delivery time because the gender results must be received before shipping.
Blue-Faced Parrotfinches add a beautiful splash of color to any aviary. Males have a bright blue head and red upper tail coverts. The rest of the plumage is mainly bright forest green.
Females look very similar to males but are usually slightly duller around the neck and breast. Young birds have duller plumage and a less vivid blue head. They typically develop their full adult coloration at around 20 months of age.
Blue-Faced Parrotfinches are active, social, and generally peaceful. However, they may occasionally pester other birds during breeding. They can also become nervous when kept in small enclosures.
These birds need plenty of open space for flying. They also benefit from densely planted areas for climbing, exploring, and nesting.
A large aviary is ideal. They can live with other peaceful species, but it is best to keep only one pair per enclosure.
Breeding is best restricted to the warmer months. With suitable housing and nutrition, Blue-Faced Parrotfinches can breed readily.
To prevent excessive breeding, it may be helpful to separate males and females during the off-season.
For breeding, keep one pair in each enclosure rather than using a colony setup. Once a breeding pair is introduced, provide a nutritious breeding diet that includes half-ripe seeds, sprouted seeds, peas, corn, and egg food.
Approximately 7–8 years.
A balanced diet can include:
Providing a varied diet, fresh water, and plenty of space to fly will help your Blue-Faced Parrotfinch thrive.
