Now that I am a horned one, I will just silently watch and learn from the great questions that alway are asked on this quiz!

I'm tempted to say the common house or cape sparrow because of the number I see everyday, but I think it's actually the red-quella because of the size of their flocks and their speedy reproduction?

According to that wonderful font of all knowledge, Google, the red- billed quelea is not only Africa's most numerous bird but in fact the worlds most numerous bird. So Sleepyowl21 looks like you were right unless Roan had something else in mind.

Thanks toddy and welcome to the no kudu-horns club. Roan seems to be MIA but I'll take the praise and invite you to ask a question

Okay as I have been away for a while I can only start with an easy one.

Hi Sleepy.
