Golden Bishop

These are small birds about the size of a Sparrow and flock together with the Red Bishop and other Euplectes species eating mostly seeds and herbs.
 Their territory is only the central and northern areas of SA.



They frequent wetlands and fields of wheat and sorgum.

Both parents feed caterpillars to the young.
