Cordon Bleu Waxbill - Uraeginthus bengalus
This finch comes from the grassy woodlands of central Africa where it is often found
on the outskirts of villages. There are different forms but only the red cheeked variety
is found in New Zealand. The Cordon Bleu is a very attractive, popular finch which suits a
mixed finch aviary. Easy to sex and breed as long as the diet is right with a good finch seed mix with plenty of live food especially maggots, softfood and seeding grasses.
