The Strawberry Finch or Red Avadavat (Amandava amandava) . Part 2

This finch is usually seen in small flocks,[21] flying with rapid wingbeats and descending into grass clumps where they are hard to observe. Pairs stay together during the breeding season.[22] These birds produce a distinctive low single note pseep call that is often given in flight. The song is a series of low notes.[23] Birds of a flock will preen each other, ruffling their head feathers in invitation.[24] They feed mainly on grass seeds but will also take insects such as termites when they are available.
