Sunda Zebra Finch

Taeniopygia guttata

The Sunda zebra finch, known scientifically as Taeniopygia guttata, is a charming bird belonging to the family Estrildidae. This species graces the Lesser Sundas with its presence, adding a touch of elegance to the region's avian diversity.

Conservation Status

The Sunda zebra finch is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, indicating a stable population without immediate threats to its survival.

Parasites

In the realm of scientific research, the Sunda zebra finch has proven to be an invaluable model organism. Studies focusing on its immune response to parasites have shed light on the defensive mechanisms of birds as a whole. Remarkably, this species appears to be completely resistant to Plasmodium relictum, the most common malaria parasite found in avians, a discovery that could have significant implications for understanding disease resistance in birds.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life PokΓ©mon go.

My favourite app
As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me 😁

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

Great app
I use this app all the time as it’s quick and easy to log individual sightings or whole birding sessions. It’s an excellent way to meet new people and the forum is full of really friendly people. The challenges are a great way to get involved and learn more about birds. Cannot recommend it enough!

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.
