Why it matters
The Eastern Paradise-Whydah is renowned for the extraordinary, elongated tail feathers that males grow during the breeding season, which can reach twice their body length. As a brood parasite, this species has a fascinating evolutionary history, as it lays its eggs in the nests of green-winged pytilias, relying on the host species to raise its young.
