In the sun-baked savannas and dry farmlands of northeastern Africa, this bright-crowned wanderer gathers in lively flocks across open ground. It feeds on grass seeds and scattered grains, moving in a shifting cloud of gold and brown as it tracks seasonal rains. What makes it extraordinary is its adaptability — nesting in loose colonies, thriving alongside people, and helping cycle seeds through some of the continent’s harshest landscapes. A wash of yellow under blazing skies, yet a resilient emblem of life on the edge of the desert.
