New pics of African Golden Breasted Bunting.

This is my "Yellow Bellied Sapsucker" :) At least that is what the pet store I found him at had him labelled as! I identified him through this forum! I feel honored to have such a unique bird!

One day I will own Buntings... I really love the look of them.

I found this link on buntings. There are loads of them out there.

Thanks for sharing a pic of yours. I'm glad you got its correct name.

Congrats. I know the feeling when you stumble upon a gem and no one in the pet shop knows it! :lol: I'm sure he will be happy with all the space you give him.
