"Ibadan Malimbe", The Rare Red-headed Bird Which Can Only Be Found In Ibadan. by queensera(op): 5:52pm On Mar 30, 2019

The Malimbus Ibadanensis known as the "Ibadan Malimbe", is a rare red-headed bird which cannot be found anywhere in the world except Ibadan.

The bird is about 20 centimeters long. The male is black with a red head and breast. The female has smaller red areas.

The bird forages in pairs or small groups, sometimes alongside the red-headed malimbe (Malimbus rubricollis). It lives in forest and woodland habitat, including degraded areas.

Lies. So you mean the bird can't fly into other close states? So it can migrate to Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun state?

That is true. The phenomenon is called endemism. You can't find the bird anywhere else in the world

Ibadan is its origin but I believe you can find it even in other African countries partly due to migration

The Ibadan malimbe is a rare species of bird in the Ploceidae family. It is endemic to Nigeria, where it is known only from the southwestern part of the country, including the city of Ibadan which it's named after. It was first discovered in 1951 and was common at one point. Forest clearing made it rare.
