Black-faced Waxbill
The Black-faced Waxbill is a small, attractive estrildid finch with gray and black facial markings, reddish-pink upperparts, and a crimson rump patch. It inhabits dry thornbush, acacia scrub, and open savanna woodland of eastern and southern Africa, particularly in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. It feeds on small grass seeds, often foraging in pairs or small groups close to the ground.
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.
