Why it matters
The red-cheeked cordonbleu is widely admired for its striking blue plumage, which is a rare coloration in the avian world achieved through structural coloration rather than pigment. In aviculture, these small estrildid finches are noted for their distinctive, notched tails and their tendency to engage in a unique, rhythmic "dance" involving rhythmic bobbing and song.
