About These Birds
Abyssinian Crimsonwing
The Abyssinian Crimsonwing is a small estrildid finch of East African montane forests, weighing about 12g. Males display vivid crimson plumage on the wings and back, making them striking forest birds.
Black-faced Munia
The Black-faced Munia is a small, compact grassfinch with a black face, brown upperparts, and pale buff underparts; the black facial coloring contrasts sharply with its pale bill. It is found in open grasslands, rice paddies, and scrublands of the Moluccas and Sulawesi in Indonesia. It feeds almost exclusively on grass seeds and rice, often in large foraging flocks.
