The Silver Diamond Firetail Barely Even Looks Real
This little cute birds look like in the wild. Endemic to the southeast of Australia, ranging from the Carnarvon Ranges in Queensland to the Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Island in South Australia, the diamond firetail grows to 10-12 cm and weighs 17 grams, which is positively gargantuan when you compare it to the mini emu-wren, at just 4 grams. It's one of three firetail finches from the genus Stagonopleura, all of which are endemic to Australia.
