The Red avadavat, also known as the Red Munia or Strawberry Finch, is a small passerine bird found in South and Southeast Asia. It is named for its bright red plumage, which is more vivid in males than females. The Red avadavat is typically found in open grasslands and cultivated areas, and feeds on a variety of seeds and small insects. It is known for its melodious song and is sometimes kept as a pet in parts of Asia. The Red avadavat is not considered to be endangered, but the trapping of wild birds for the pet trade is a threat to their populations in some areas.
