. Red-cheeked Cordon Bleu: This small emerald green bird is also known as the “Red-cheeked Cordon Bleu,” due to the male’s deep red cheeks. Females have slightly lighter plumage, and this is how they can be easily distinguished. Red Cordon Bleu (Uraeginthus bengalus) lives in drier regions of sub-Saharan Africa. They forage on the ground, eating seeds and small worms.
