	BIOCHEMICAL SYSTEMATICS WITHIN PALAEOTROPIC FINCHES (AVES: ESTRILDIDAE) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This reflects the fact that the Estrildidae are unusual among birds in that plumage patterns are a relatively poor clue to relationships owing to extensive convergences and parallelisms (Harrison 1963, Mayr 1968).
		After an initial dichotomy with- in the Estrildidae was determined through the plo- ceid out-group, each of the sister estrildine lineages were then treated as out-groups to each other from dichotomy to dichotomy.
		UPGMA of the relationships between the Estrildidae (Poephila guttata), Ploceidae (Passer domes- ticus, P. montanus, and Foudia madagascariensis), Frin- gillidae (Caraduelis chloris and C. carduelis), and Em- berizidae (Tiaris canora).

		Among the weaverbirds, Ploceidae, for instance, are many species called finches (see WEAVER FINCH).
		The WAXBILLS, Estrildidae, are also a type of finch.
		Charles Darwin based much of his theory of evolution on birds now known as DARWIN'S FINCHES (Geospizidae).

	Estrildidae -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Perhaps the commonest and tamest bird in Africa is the 8-centimetre (3-inch) red-billed, or Senegal, fire finch (Lagonosticta senegala), found everywhere in scrublands and gardens.
		It is an attractive pet that chirps and trills.
		The birds, including some popular cage birds, are native to Africa, where they frequent villages and farms.

	Green Avadavat Breeders Group (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		We are finch breeders dedicated to saving the Green Avadavat finch from extinction both here in Australian Aviaries and in their native environment.
		The species Amandava Formosa known commonly as the Green Avadavat is a small Estrildidae from provinces in Northern India.
		Categorised in the 1990s by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), the decline in both wild and captive bred populations necessitate urgent remedial action, if we are to save this lovely little bird.

	Weaver, Birds, Weaver, Bird Pictures, Catalog, Encyclopedia
		More than 150 species, including the well-known house SPARROW, Passer domesticus (also called English sparrow), are found throughout the world; weavers are especially prevalent in the Old World, particularly Africa.
		These species make up the family Ploceidae, closely related to the WEAVER FINCH family Estrildidae.
		Weavers usually have bodies 7.5 to 25 cm (3 to 10 in) long but are variable in total length because some, like the African whydah Coliuspasser progne, have long tails, sometimes 63 cm (25 in) in length.

		waxbill, common name for small, brightly colored weaver finches of the Estrildini tribe of the family Estrildidae.
		Most are African with the exception of two S Asian species of avadavats, and one Australian species (Estrilda temporalis), which may not properly belong in this group.
		Waxbills are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Passeriformes, family Estrildidae.

	Parasitic weaverbirds (from mimicry) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Brood parasitism is also found in African whydahs, or widow birds, of the subfamily Viduinae of the weaverbird family, Ploceidae.
		Each species of whydah parasitizes a single species of estrildid finch (Estrildidae).
		In this case, egg colour does not seem to be a factor in acceptance of the parasite's egg, because both groups have pure white eggs.

		In a general sense, "finch" is used to describe a multitude of birds found in the order Passeriformes that principally belong to one of four separate families: Emberizidae (buntings, grassquits and cardinals),
		Fringillidae (the true finches), Estrildidae (Estrildid finches), Ploceidae (weavers and whydahs).
		Most breeding successes have occurred with the birds from the Fringillidae and the Estrildidae families.
