Pekin Robin

Origin	The Pekin Robin also known as the Red Billed Leiothrix is usually found in India, Bhutan, Nepal, Burma and parts of Tibet. This species is a bird of the hill forests, found in every type of jungle though it prefers pine forests with bushes. It has also been found at elevations ranging from near sea level to about 7,500 feet.
Size	This species can grow up to 6 in(15 cm)
Lifespan	Can live 5+ years
Noise	Moderate when kept in pairs or groups.
Characteristics	Adults have bright red bills and a dull yellow ring around their eyes. Their backs are dull olive green, and they have a bright yellow-orange throat with a yellow chin; females are somewhat duller than males, and juveniles have black bills. The edges of the wing feathers are brightly coloured with yellow, orange, red and black and the forked tail is olive brown and blackish at the tip.
Interaction/Time Requirements, Diet, Supplies Needed	A minimum of 12 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 12 inches high. Space is important and indoor cages should be as large as possible. A large cage is required even if the bird is going to spend lots of time out of its habitat with you. Aviaries are sold ready for home assembly. Most are a rectangular design, with a mesh covered flight, and smaller shelter area, in which the birds are fed and can take shelter from the bad weather. They require a warm habitat for the winter months. Do not allow your birds outdoors until all signs of frost are gone. They eat a foreign finch seed mixture that contains various millets and other small seeds such as niger. You need to change food and water twice daily, and clean the cage at least once a day, replacing toys and broken climbing branches.
