About These Birds
Black-lored Waxbill
The Black-lored Waxbill is a data-deficient, tiny estrildid finch with brown plumage, pale underparts, a red rump, and small black lore patches. It has a very restricted range in the forests and dense thickets of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and very little is known of its ecology and behavior. It likely feeds on small grass seeds and insects in the manner typical of African waxbills.
Black-crowned Waxbill
The Black-crowned Waxbill is a small, delicate estrildid finch of Central African forest edges and adjacent savanna, with a black cap, grey body, red rump patch, and barred white flanks. It ranges from Cameroon east to Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, inhabiting grass and shrub edges of forest clearings and cultivation. It feeds on small grass seeds and tiny insects.
