About These Birds
Black-headed Waxbill
The Black-headed Waxbill is a tiny, attractive estrildid finch with a black head, red rump, dark brown upperparts, and pale pinkish underparts. It inhabits forest edges, dense undergrowth, and thickets in montane and lowland forests of central and east Africa, from Nigeria east to Ethiopia and south to Tanzania. It feeds on small grass seeds and tiny insects, often in pairs or small family groups.
