To the Beauty of Birds

The Blue-capped Cordon-bleu (Uraeginthus cyanocephalus) is native to Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Tanzania in East Africa.
The blue-capped cordon-bleu inhabits subtropical or tropical (lowland) dry grassland, shrubland and desert.

The finch is an omnivorous passerine, eating seeds and small insects. Most of this species do not exceed 3 inches in length and are quiet relative to other finches.

Blue-capped males have blue on the tops of their heads and tend to be more vivid in color. On female blue-caps the light brown coloration on the wings extends to the nape of the neck and over the top the head. Estrildinae may have originated in India and dispersed thereafter (towards Africa and Pacific Ocean habitats).
