The red-cheeked cordon-bleu (Uraeginthus bengalus) is a tiny finch that measures just 4.9 – 5.1 inches.
Depending on their region, the birds may weigh anything between 9.9 – 11 ounces.
The males are easy to spot, as they are bright and attractive, featuring blue, brown, and bright yellow-colored feathers. The females, on the other hand, are paler.
The natural habitat of these birds is central and eastern Africa – and they are found across these regions, except in interior areas of forests and high elevations.
These birds are granivores and feed on a variety of seeds, including millet and grass seeds.
