About These Birds

Black Mannikin

The Black Mannikin is a small, uniform dark-brown to blackish grassfinch with a pale gray bill and a slightly paler rump. It inhabits tall grasslands, reed beds, and adjacent scrubland in the lowlands of southern New Guinea. It feeds almost exclusively on small grass seeds, often foraging in small flocks near the ground.

Beautiful Firetail

The Beautiful Firetail is a small, colorful finch endemic to southeastern Australia and Tasmania, found in heath, scrub, and forest edges. It is recognized by its red bill and rump, finely barred black-and-white underparts, and blue eye ring. It feeds on grass seeds and small insects in dense shrubby habitats near the ground.
