About These Birds
Black-bellied Firefinch
The Black-bellied Firefinch is a small, brightly colored finch of sub-Saharan African scrublands and savanna, with males showing reddish-pink upperparts and a distinctive black belly patch. It ranges across a broad belt of West and Central Africa from Senegal to Uganda, frequenting tall grass, bush edges, and the vicinity of rocky areas. It feeds on small grass seeds and occasionally insects.
African Firefinch
The African Firefinch weighs about 10g and is widespread across sub-Saharan grasslands. Males have rich red plumage with white flank spots, making them among the most colorful small African birds.
