About These Birds
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 Quailfinch
The African Quailfinch is a tiny estrildid finch weighing about 11 g with a wingspan near 10 cm. It inhabits open grassy wetlands and moist grasslands across Africa, running mouse-like through vegetation and flushing in low, fast flight when disturbed.
