The waxbill, a small and colorful bird, is a sight to behold. Picture No. 11676103 showcases the beauty of the common waxbill, also known as Estrilda astrild or Loxia astreld. This handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Hayes captures its unique features from Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park. But the world of waxbills extends beyond just this species. South Africa and Brazil are home to unknown varieties that add even more intrigue to these avian wonders. The vibrant Violet-Eared Waxbill and Orange-Cheeked it can among them, each displaying their own striking colors. Estrilda astrild, commonly referred to as the Waxbill, is another member of this fascinating family. Its presence brings joy with its charming appearance and delightful chirps. Speaking of orange cheeks, let's not forget about the Orange-Cheeked Waxbill (Estrilda melpoda). With its distinct markings on display in Picture No. 11676103, it adds a burst of color wherever it goes. Moving away from waxbills for a moment, we encounter the White-rumped Munia (Lonchura striata) perched gracefully in citronella bushes in Hong Kong's Long Valley. These adult birds showcase elegance amidst nature's backdrop. Returning our focus back to waxbills once again, we come across an adult male Lavender Waxbill (Estrilda caerulescens) standing proudly on a stone drain in Mole National Park in Ghana during February—a testament to their adaptability across different regions. In another captivating image from Mole National Park in Ghana during February, an adult male Lavender Waxbill perches confidently on a clothesline—proof that beauty can be found even in unexpected places. These glimpses into the world of waxbills remind us of the incredible diversity and beauty that exists in nature.
