Red Faced Bird?
23 Answers
This morning I saw a red faced bird on my windowsill, it had a very bright red face and beautiful black nearly blue wings and back. I wasn't quick enough to snap a photo but it's been bothering me all day what kind of bird it was. I'm thinking it was possibly someone's pet as I don't think it was a native bird?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Been trawling through google images of 'red face bird' for a while!!

Goldfinches do have red faces but they have (funnily enough) very bright yellow on their wings, buff breasts and some black and white flashing on wing tips - that doesn't sound at all like your description.
What size was it? If really blue/black all over except for a red face it doesn't sound like any native wild bird I know.

Was it as bright as this?
