quelea - n., any of several East African weaverbirds of the genus Quelea.


Especially Quelea quelea, the red-billed quelea, which as just about every dictionary definition will tell you is a) the world's most abundant wild bird species (with about 1.5 billion breeding adults) and b) destructive of grain crops.

Cute little things, though.
