Steel-blue Whydah
Vidua hypocherina
Least ConcernThe Steel-blue Whydah is a African brood-parasitic finch that lays in estrildid finch nests and feeds mainly on grass seeds in East African forests and mountains. 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.
