amadavat

The nest of this little bird is more loosely put together and more globular than that of the amadavat.

It takes an amadavat a long time to learn that it is safe in its cage.

In a few minutes a passing amadavat is attracted to the cage by the song of the bird inside.

The nutmeg bird or spotted munia (Uroloncha punctulata) is second only to the amadavat as an aviary favourite.
