About Red-backed Mannikin
The Red-backed Mannikin is found over most of the southern half of Africa. It is an attractive bird with much broghter colouring than the Bronze Mannikin. It is sometimes referred to as the Brown-backed Mannikin or Brown-backed Munia. This little finch is mainly a seed eater but it will take small insects at times.
