Important aspect missing from the description of the nest. edit
These birds are fairly defenseless, and you'd think that building their nests low down would make them quite vulnerable. Not so! They are build their nests very close to the nests of paper-bark wasps. I only know this from personal experience, and don't have a reference for it, but I think it was mentioned in the old versions of Neville Cayley. Old_Wombat (talk) 09:34, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

The double-barred finch (Stizoptera bichenovii) is a species of estrildid finch found in dry savanna, tropical (lowland) dry grassland, and shrubland habitats in northern and eastern Australia. It is sometimes referred to as Bicheno's finch or the owl finch, the latter owing to the dark ring of feathers around the face. This double-barred finch perching on a branch was photographed in Glen Davis, New South Wales. Photograph credit: John Harrison
