Zebra finches
The Zebra Finch, Taeniopygia guttata (formerly Poephila guttata),
is the most common and familiar estrildid finch of Central Australia
and ranges over most of the continent,
avoiding only the cool moist south and the tropical far north.
Zebra Finches inhabit a wide range of grasslands and forests, usually close to water.
They are typically found in open steppes with scattered bushes and trees,
but have adapted to human disturbances,
taking advantage of human-made watering holes and large patches of deforested land
