Meet The Flaming Bird With A Beauty That Is So Out Of This World It Looks Like A Real-Life Christmas Angel
Have you ever seen a bird with mesmerizing, angelic beauty? Well, you probably think you have.
But it may never be as gorgeous as this rare white bird with a striking red tail that makes it look like it's on fire. The Diamond Firetail is one of the most colorful and stunning birds in the finch family, with its ash-brown body and gray forehead, neck, and crown.
This angelic variety, however, is special, and its kind and appearance can only be produced by the most experienced breeders. It's greatly distinguishable from all the other Diamond Firetails, as it has pearlescent white plumage that can only be formed through two parent birds that carry its recessive genes.
Whether nearby or from afar, this bird is certainly impossible to ignore, with its bright red beak and plumage, and its loud personality. Seeing it will undoubtedly take your breath away, but they are not exactly the easiest pets to care for because they can be quite anti-social.
One way or another, they are undoubtedly among the most beautiful birds you will ever see—if not the best. Their overall appearance screams Christmas so much that it's impossible not to feel merry when you see them!
Meet the Silver Diamond Finch Tail
A bird with feathers so bright it's impossible to look away. It even resembles a Christmas angel with its flame-colored feathers cascading down its tail.

This particular bird is a variety of Australia's native finch, specifically the Diamond Firetail (Stagonopleura guttata). They can only be produced by reliable and experienced breeders, as they can only be spawned by two parents that carry the same recessive gene that produces its pearlescent plumage.
Its original appearance is still characterized by fiery red bills, eyes, and rumps, with a thick black horizontal band adorned with white spots extending to the lower part of its wings. With the silver diamond tail, however, it is a mesmerizing white throughout.

It is native to southeast Australia and can be found from Queensland and the Carnarvon Ranges up to South Australia's Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. These birds grow up to 10-12 centimeters in height and can weigh up to 17 grams.
It grows significantly larger than the mini emu-wren, which usually weighs just 4 grams.

It is one of the three firetail finches that are all native to Australia. The next is called the red-eared firetail (Stagonopleura oculata) and is mostly found in the southwestern portion of Australia.
The other is the beautiful firetail (Stagonopleura bella), which can be found in the southeastern corner of the land down under. This particular variety can also be found in Tasmania, and it is the only finch species that can be seen on the island.

Its plump little body, bright red beak, and sky-blue-rimmed eyes are surely a great sight to spot in the wild. It may be quite challenging to track them down, but they are usually near water.
Once you get close to their spots, it will not be impossible to spot them at all because they are not exactly quiet.

While firetail finches are not exactly classified as threatened, their numbers are slowly declining. This decline is most likely caused by feral cats and habitat loss.
Fortunately, active measures are being taken to ensure that these birds won't be endangered any time soon.

They are so strikingly white that it's impossible to ignore them. Everything about them screams holidays—from their bright white plumage to their flashing red beak and tail!

A true beauty.
