Finch Orange Cheeked Waxbill Male

Description: The Orange-cheeked Waxbill (Estrilda melpoda) is a delightful and beautiful African waxbill finch. If I could recommend an ideal finch, this one would be at the top of the list. The Orange-cheeked Waxbill lives in small family parties or flocks of thirty or more individuals. Their high-pitched peeps are the best clue of their presence. Like most estridids, they are very acrobatic in their movements on twigs and grass stems, "climbing" up and down verticals and hanging upside down while feeding. Orange-cheeked Waxbills for sale are among some of the most colorful waxbills and truly a pure joy to observe! Size / Weight:  4" Lifespan: 4 years Temperament: The Orange-cheeked Waxbills are very sociable birds, they get along with other species, except while breeding when they can become more nervous and territorial. The males like to sing and will vocalize with their high-pitched chirping. Males have different melodies and hens may vocalize a bit, but they will not sing. Orange-
