Disappearing Exotics (1 Viewer)

I live in Houston, Texas, and we have several exotic species that have reportedly been on the decline or eradicated after the hard freeze of January 2018.
These species are:
- Orange-cheeked Waxbill
- Bronze Mannikin
- Northern Red Bishop

From sightings on eBird.com, I have found at least 10 individual Waxbills, 1 Mannikin, and 4 Bishop reports since the freeze in mid-January.
The Scaly-breasted Munia, Red-vented Bulbul, and Monk Parakeets seem to be doing just fine, though.

Does anyone have further breeding information or sightings of these birds since the freeze? If so, please let me know.

I think you're more likely to find your answer on texsbirds than BF.

Last month there was a back and forth over Budgerigars and their proper recognition when reported on eBird. Reading that thread may give you insights on reporting posture for your "exotics".

There's a couple eBird Texas reviewers and at least one central America reviewer who responds to questions.
