Long-tailed Finch

Poephila acuticauda

Least Concern

The Long-tailed Finch is a small seed-eating finch of Old World grasslands, wetlands, savannas, and island scrub. It moves through grasses, reeds, scrub, farmland, or open woodland in pairs and flocks, taking grass seeds and small insects. Many estrildids build domed grass nests and give soft contact calls.
