The Red-billed Quelea is a small bird native to sub-Saharan Africa, known for its distinctive red bill and brownish plumage. These birds are highly social and often form large flocks, which can number in the millions. They primarily inhabit grasslands and savannas, where they feed on seeds, particularly from grasses. Red-billed Queleas are known for their remarkable breeding behavior, often nesting in colonies. Their nests are typically woven from grass and are suspended in trees or shrubs. Due to their large populations and feeding habits, they can sometimes be considered pests by farmers, as they may damage crops like rice and millet.
