That's easy, Lorne. Whilst I've seen couples or dozens
of most species, I've seen hundreds of Zebra
Finches in central Australia in 1978 and last September I saw at least a
thousand Zebra Finches adjacent to the Barkly Roadhouse on the Barkly Highway,
NT.
I've also seen hundreds of breeding family groups of
Crimson Finches at Geikie Gorge near Fitzroy Crossing, which easily tallied into
the thousands. However, these were more interconnected groups rather than
flocking in the true sense of the word.
