Gould's Diamond

The Gould's Diamondback is another domestic exotic bird is the Gould's Diamondback. This species is extremely beautiful and can have up to 07 different colors. By the way, know that these colors do not refer to species variations, but to the presence of countless colors in the bird's body.

As a result, this bird, originally from Australia, has a chest, belly, back, face and tail in different colors. The end result is a truly enchanting mosaic of colors. He is quite docile, so he is great to have as company. Just like the parakeet, it requires the company of birds of its kind.

Mandarin Diamond

The mandarin diamond is also an exotic domestic bird that allows breeding at home without prior authorization. She has a cute look, which is due to her cheeks in colorful tones. Still, it is quite friendly with humans.

This bird originates from Australasian countries, that is, Australia, Timos and Indonesia.

manon
