About These Birds
Black-cheeked Waxbill
The Black-cheeked Waxbill is a small, pretty estrildid finch of East African dry scrublands and savanna, with grey upperparts, a black face mask, and pinkish-red flanks and rump. It ranges from Ethiopia and Sudan south to Tanzania, inhabiting dry bush, scrub, and grassland with scattered trees. It feeds on small grass seeds and occasionally small insects.
African Quailfinch
The African Quailfinch is a tiny estrildid finch weighing about 11 g with a wingspan near 10 cm. It inhabits open grassy wetlands and moist grasslands across Africa, running mouse-like through vegetation and flushing in low, fast flight when disturbed.
