Habitat
The Cinderella waxbill is found in subtropical and tropical (lowland), dry shrubland, savannah and forest habitats at altitudes of Template:Cvt. It is observed that the recent development of a hydroelectric plant on the Cunene River at Epupa Falls has caused changes to insect biodiversity which were relied on by the Cinderella waxbill during feeding of its young - thus threatening its food source to be depleted.
The waxbill also eats grass seeds, nectar and insects. The Cinderella is diurnal.
