  Bronze-Winged Mannikin
All the mannikins like plenty of tall grass in which to forage and to nest and hide in during the day.
Clump bamboo are especially appreciated (the clump types are easier to maintain in the aviary than the runners, which can get out of control) as are some of the taller fescue, pannicum, and miscanthus species.
Bronze wings like to roost high in a tree and several will clump together for safety during the night.

Africa's Bronze Mannikin is among the smallest of mannikins.
When introduced into a suitable habitat where it is not a native, the Mannikin will almost always fill only a niche not previously occupied by the area's native birds.
In many cases, the Mannikin is known as a "weed bird," because it is likely to be found in weedy roadsides, abandoned developments or vacant city lots.

 Avian Demography Unit: Bird Numbers 8(1) Article06
A number of other estrildids have been considered as hosts, such as Swee Waxbill, Orangebreasted Waxbill and Bronze Mannikin (Friedmann 1960; Neuby-Varty 1970; MacDonald 1980; Martin 1983; Payne 1997a), yet these do not have the familiar five-spot pattern of the other hosts.
Alternative estrildid hosts such as the Swee Waxbill and the Bronze Mannikin may also be used, but not regularly.
It must be noted that the evidence for this is suggestive, based on an informal comparison of distributions of parasite and host (which may not necessarily indicate host use) and from nest records which have not necessarily been substantiated.
