Blue-capped Cordon-bleu Uraeginthus cyanocephalus

The Blue-capped Cordon-bleu is a finch native to East Africa. Males have slightly brighter plumage than females.

During courting, a male will jump about with a piece of grass or twig in his bill to symbolise nesting. If she accepts, the female will join in and the couple will "dance" together rapidly.
