Blue Waxbill - Uraeginthus angolensis
The blue waxbill is a very common resident
to southern Africa. Pairs and small parties are frequently with
other small seedeaters and are found in thornveld, thronbushes and
thickets along watercourses like the Chobe river. This bird is easily
recognizable by its brown back and crown and its very distinctive
blue rump, face, breast and tail. The female is paler and the blue
on the flanks is omitted.
