Training Owl Finch - Jesse Wilson - Bog

The Owl Finch is not a wild avian species, but rather a domesticated or captivity-bred finch known for its distinctive appearance. Owl Finches (Taeniopygia bichenovii) are a plumage variation of the native Australian Double-barred Finch (Taeniopygia bichenovii). They are referred to as "Owl Finches" because the facial markings around their eyes resemble owl facial disks.
Owl Finches have a striking black-and-white facial pattern, with a dark band across their eyes resembling an owl's "mask."
The remainder of their plumage is typically brown or gray. As companions or aviary birds, these finches are popular among aviculturists and bird enthusiasts.
The Owl Finch is a subspecies of the Double-barred Finch that has been bred for its facial markings that resemble an owl's visage. It is not a distinct natural species, but rather a domesticated or captive variant.
