Description These are Common Waxbills, Estrilda astrild.  Their sealing-wax-red bills give them and the whole waxbill family their names.  They're really as snuggly as this!  Out of breeding season, they form small flocks.  They eat mainly seeds, and live in rank grass, reeds or other vegetation.  Acrylic.

Lovely, I have two orange-cheek waxbills as pets, and they are just as cuddly.
