About These Birds
Anambra Waxbill
The Anambra Waxbill is a tiny near-threatened finch with a 9.5 cm wingspan, weighing just 7.5 grams. It is restricted to riverine grasslands in southeastern Nigeria. Its limited range and habitat specialization make it vulnerable to wetland degradation.
Beautiful Firetail
The Beautiful Firetail is a small, colorful finch endemic to southeastern Australia and Tasmania, found in heath, scrub, and forest edges. It is recognized by its red bill and rump, finely barred black-and-white underparts, and blue eye ring. It feeds on grass seeds and small insects in dense shrubby habitats near the ground.
