Серый астрильд

A small waxbill of semi-arid and dry scrubland habitats across sub-Saharan Africa and the Sahel zone, black-rumped waxbills have a distinctive crimson bill and rump that contrasts with their grey-brown body. They inhabit dry grasslands, savanna borders, and cultivated areas, feeding on small grass seeds. Though small and inconspicuous, they are a popular aviary bird kept throughout Europe and Asia for their delicate appearance and active, social behavior.
