This Zebra Finch carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The Zebra Finch is the most common and familiar finch of Central Australia and ranges over most of the continent, avoiding only the cool, moist South and the tropical far North. It also can be found in Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Puerto Rico, Portugal & U.S. Zebra Finches inhabit 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. The Zebra Finch breeds after substantial rains in its native habitat, which can occur at any time of the year. Wild birds are adaptable and varied in their nesting habits, with nests being found in cavities, scrub, low trees, bushes, on the ground, in termite hills, rabbit burrows, nests of other birds, and in the cracks, crevices, and ledges of human structures. Outside of the breeding time, brood nests are constructed for sleeping in. Zebra Finches are extremely gregarious birds and are almost always found in groups of several pairs.
