Dr Hanneline Smit-Robinson from BirdLife South Africa is our key contact with the Orange-breasted Waxbill collaboration.
This past weekend was our first participation at the Sasol Bird Fair, which was held at the Walter Sisulu Bird Gardens at Rooderpoort, just outside Johannesburg . With more than 35 exhibitors it certainly was a great privilege and honour to be part of this annual event. Public awareness and support for the little Orange-breasted Waxbill conservation project and BirdLife International’s PREVENTING EXTINCTIONS initiative with Keeping Common Birds Commons is steadily growing.
Thanks to a generous printing sponsorship from Castle Graphics North (Pty)Ltd 60 Bird Hide posters will soon be erected in hides in all the birding areas where the Orange-breasted Waxbill can be seen in their natural habitat.
