A tiny gregarious species of savannahs, weedy fields, scrub, and agricultural lands; often found in flocks of dozens to hundreds. Note the adult’s glossy black head, bronzy-brown back, barred rump and vent, and bicolored black and blue-gray bill.

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 pair of chestnut breasted mannikins on thin twigs, started on the train and finished with all that track rhythm still in the lines. Pentel Graphgear 1000 in 2B, 4B, HB. Blender and BluTack to shape the graphite. These birds move in social flocks, almost like shared breath. #bird #sciart #graphite
Graphite drawing of a pair of chestnut breasted mannikins perched on thin twigs in a small open sketchbook. The two birds sit one above the other, softly shaded with dark faces and patterned chests. A hand holds the page, with pencils and a coffee cup behind.

🌍 Bronze mannikin (Spermestes cucullata) The bronze mannikin, also known as the bronze munia, is a small, compact finch, with a blackish head, grey bill, and brown upperparts. Its white underparts have brown barring on the flanks. A key feature is the darker, iridescent patch on the upper wing feathers. This gregarious bird is widespread across sub-Saharan Africa in grassy areas, open woodlands, and gardens. Bronze mannikins are often seen in flocks, foraging mainly on seeds and occasionally insects. They build ball-shaped nests, sometimes near wasp nests, and both parents care for the young. Two subspecies are recognised. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by jeanvdmeulen via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bronze-mannikin-bird-avian-nature-3607636/ LIOU

"Ha, ha! Why yes, I suppose he does!"
Two men walk along a factory hallway. The first, officer Jim Corrigan, asks the other (the factory owner), "Does he often say stuff like that, about the mannikins being ANGRY and having a good reason for REVENGE?" The factory owner responds, "Ha, ha! Why, YES, I suppose he DOES!" (Story by Steve Skeates, art by Jim Aparo.)

An afternoon meet n greet at the platform feeder. Mostly Lesser goldfinches with a few Scaly-breasted munia in their fancy brown suits and checkered vests. 🪶
A two foot square platform feeder has three little brown birds and ten yellow and light gray smaller birds. Nutmeg mannikins and Lesser goldfinches.

Four small birds are sitting on a vertical branch. They’re mainly brown but they have an iridescent green flash on the shoulder.

Disturbing mannikins with the face of a dead woman aside* do please learn CPR though. You never know when you - or somebody you love - might need it.

*before they ripped the faces off to sterilise them, that is

I found a Pringles clothing shop in a narrow market alleyway.
A shop window. Mannikins wear pringles banded clothing. The entire shop seemed to pringles clothing.
