Cameroon Indigobird

Vidua camerunensis

Least Concern

The Cameroon Indigobird is a African brood-parasitic finch that lays in estrildid finch nests and feeds mainly on grass seeds in Cameroon highlands. It is generally resident or locally nomadic, using suitable cover and food patches year-round. Fun fact: this batch includes remarkable specialists, from mimic-rich thrashers to brood-parasitic whydahs and nectar-feeding sugarbirds.
