Mauritius fody
The Mauritius fody (Foudia rubra) is a rare and endangered species of bird in the weaver family, Ploceidae. It is endemic to the southern Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, where it resides in several types of forest, including degraded areas, as well as plantations. With a length of around 14 centimetres (5.5 inches), breeding males are olive brown, with a red head, breast and rump patch, and black lores. Females, non-breeding males and juveniles are olive brown with white wing bars and a brown bill. The bird feeds on insects such as grasshoppers, beetle larvae, caterpillars, and also spiders. Berries are eaten regularly by some individuals, and it feeds on nectar regularly, using its specialised brush-tipped tongue. This male Mauritius fody was photographed on the Île aux Aigrettes, an island off Mauritius's south-eastern coast.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

Wikipedia needs pictures. How you can help...

Wikipedia always needs free images! If you have a collection of photos you have taken, consider articles that might benefit from any of them. If you have a camera, look for important subjects in your area. Maybe you can fulfill a picture request. If you are an artist or a photographer, consider joining the WikiProject Illustration to collaborate with others. Please upload any public domain images of interest you have (see Wikipedia:Public domain resources) but try to keep fair use images to a minimum per the guidelines.
