Common Waxbill
(Estrilda astrild)

This bird is only found on Oahu. It was introduced from Africa sometime in the late 1970's. This bird is very shy. It travels in large groups of individuals that are most easily recognized by their call as they fly away. The easiest place to see them is in large open grass fields where they are found eating weed seeds.

Where to find on campus: Small flocks in grassy areas, often with Java Sparrows.
