They are not a pair(couple), both are males, alone that one is younger than other one. The female of the painted bounting is of a slighter green color.
males are selfish you can tell by the way female fears him and constantly movies from him until finally male pushes her over. In life males are the same in every species. Males eat dine overeat and females share give and starve in the end. males should exists one to one hundred females. that would be justice

Primitive savages? Most of the ornamental birds captured in South America are shipped abroad to countries like the United States. Thus it's not their fault. If people in the U.S. just stopped buying wildcaught birds there wouldn't be a problem like that. Oh, and by the way, Mexico isn't in South America, it's in North America. Please stop being so ignorant.
Wait... Are you serious? Let me explain it to you. People in "civilized" places like the United States and Europe want caged pretty little birds for their lavish living rooms. So people in more impoverished nations catch them in the hope of maybe feeding their allready hungry family. If the "civilized" people would stop demanding wild caught birds, then there would be no incentive for the Mexicans to catch them because they wouldn't make any money.
The Mexicans don't want them as pets, they just export them.You even say in your comment (which you got from Cornell's website)"Males are targets of trappers for the cage-bird trade." The key word is trade. So it turns out that the "civilized" people like you are really the primitive savages.
VERY VERY VERY Rare.....saw a male this past summer ....finally found this beauty of a bird in I.D. Book after talking to this lady on a walk for Altzeimers. She gave me three photos of hers from mid-nineties... One was feeding in the snow!!!!!!!Got the photo. Just joined youtube . I'll learn how to post - do it later. I'll be looking bigtime this next summer---WOW Jack
This is fabulous! I have only seen this bird once in my life here in Charleston, South Carolina at Magnolia Plantation Audoban Swamp Garden. To see both togther is so wonderful, thanks for sharing!

They are rare because of the primitive savages in South America (eg. Mexicans) who instead of just breeding them capture wild birds.
Males are targets of trappers for the cage-bird trade, especially in Mexico.

How is it not their fault if they are the ones doing it?
