Already Learning

I am already learning with this new set up just with the naming! I did not know that Gold Breasts and Strawberries were in the same species. So cool. Thanks.

They are in the same genus, not species.
Goldbreasted = Amandava subflava (genus Amandava, species subflava)
Strawberries = Amandava amandava (genus Amandava, species amandava)
