Photographed this lovely chestnut-breasted mannikin in Austrailia back in Jan. Known as the "bully bird", but also known to assist other bird neighbors in nest-buildering. #🪶 #birds #nature #birding #blueskyday #birder #naturephotography #birdphotography #mannikins #austalia #mannikin

A little chesnut-breasted mannikin perched on a wide vertical grass or thin leaf. Its body is facing the right but it's looking right at the camera. The bird has a tan crown, black head and neck, a chestnut breast with a black band at the bottom, brown wings and tail, and a white belly with black spot along the wings. The beak appears gray hair and the eyes and legs are black. The background is a blurred mix of yellow with some blure and a bit of white in the top corner. There's another wilted leaf on the bottome left.

A chestnut-breasted mannikin, pausing from eating grass seeds to check on the photographer. The bird is a wonderful mix of black, white, grey and browns, with a dark head and nape, caramel breast divided from a white belly by a dark horizontal stripe, and a lightly barred back under the wings (not visible here) and brown wings.

Chestnut-breasted munia, aka mannikin, perched on a thin grass stalk. I love how its little claws are so carefully wrapped around the grass, holding with their points instead of gripping it.

Photo of a chestnut-breasted munia, a finchlike bird with a stout bill for eating grass seeds. It is perched precariously on a thin stalk of grass with seed heads just above it.
