The Red Avadavat, Red Munia or Strawberry Finch (Amandava amandava) is a sparrow-sized bird of the Estrildidae family. It is found in the open fields and grasslands of tropical Asia and is popular as a cage bird due to the colourful plumage of the males in their breeding season. It breeds in the Indian Subcontinent in the Monsoon season. Go to Flickr Link
Pretty much seen in jungle in dense canopies and sometimes in grasslands too. They too stay in flocks of seven hence called as sath bhai(seven brothers).
