Yellow-fronted Canary
Crithagra mozambica
The adult yellow-fronted canary is a small finch of savannas, woodland edges, farms, gardens, and weedy clearings across much of sub-Saharan Africa. It moves actively through grasses and low bushes, taking mainly grass seeds, buds, and other plant matter, with occasional small insects. Males sing bright, repeated songs from exposed perches to advertise territory and attract mates. Its yellow face and underparts make it conspicuous, but its small size and quick flight help it slip rapidly between cover.
