Ankober serin  (Serinus ankoberensis)

A social bird, the Ankober serin roosts, perches and feeds in small flocks, and is also often found in the company of the streaky seedeater (Serinus striolatus) and the brown-rumped seedeater (Serinus tristriatus). Breeding takes place primarily between October and March, although it may breed following heavy rain at any time of the year. A nest of the Ankober serin was found inside a hole underneath an overhanging earth bank. Into such nests, a clutch of three eggs is laid (4).
