bico-de-lacre

O bico-de-lacre mais amplamente distribuído em África, os bico-de-lacre comuns são nativos da África subsaariana, mas foram introduzidos na Península Ibérica, no Brasil, no Hawai e em diversas ilhas do Atlântico, tornando-se um dos pássaros de gaiola evadidos mais amplamente distribuídos do mundo. Pequenos e vivaces tentilhões com bico vermelho e uma faixa vermelha pelo olho, habitam prados com vegetação densa e áreas perto de água. Altamente gregários, frequentemente vistos em grandes bandos mistos com outros estrildídeos.
