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.

Beautiful Firetail

The Beautiful Firetail is a small, colorful finch endemic to southeastern Australia and Tasmania, found in heath, scrub, and forest edges.
