	Pin-Tailed Whydah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		There is one report of a pair actually raising their own young in an abandoned nest of a common waxbill, but since the original nest builders were present in the aviary, it is not certain that they were not actually the foster parents themselves.
		Whydah chicks are more aggressive than waxbills and may evict the smaller chicks out the door if they get crowded and are enough larger to dominate.
		Pin tails need plenty of room to fly and perching in the open to keep their tails in good condition.

	Indigobird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Indigobirds and whydahs, are small passerine birds native to Africa.
		All are brood parasites, which lay their eggs in the nests of estrildid finch species; most indigobirds use fire-finches as hosts, whereas the paradise whydahs chose pytilias.
		Indigobirds and whydahs imitate their host's song, which the males learn in the nest.

	Finch and Softbill Species - T though Z
		Based on the observations of a Pin-tailed Whydah hen scaring several species of waxbills from their nests about an hour before dark, the hen is looking for a satisfactory nest, and that nest will have some eggs, but less than a full count.
		If the Whydah doesn't find any satisfactory nests among the waxbills (and you state she has already tried the manikins), societies with eggs would be an excellent addition to the aviary.
		It was a Senegal Combassou cock, a member of the parasitic Whydah family that was described as the male was BLACK and with his wings closed (just perching) there were 2 or 3 med brown feathers in his wings.

		When the female Paradise Whydah lays her eggs in the nest of Melba Finch (the host) the two species of chicks grow up together amicably - unlike cuckoo chicks, which evict the host's chicks.
		For when the breeding season is over the male Paradise Whydah sheds the long fl tail feathers and they fall into the dust after having spiralled down like propellors.
		The marvel of the Paradise Whydah goes on: the male Broad-tailed Paradise Whydah is an almost identical bird to look at when in full breeding dress.

	The Pin-tailed Whydah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Pin-tailed Whydah is an extremely beautiful bird, especially the male when it's full tail plumage is present.
		One, pin-tailed whydah males are, in my experience, extremely aggressive; not only with the other birds, but also with other male whydahs.
		The Pin-tailed Whydah is referred to as "brood-parasitic" meaning that they will lay their eggs in the nest of another species of birds (the other species being referred to as the "host").

		Not long and the pin-tailed whydah finds this and proceeds to dominate this area too, dive bombing and frighting the wits out of any other poor visiting seed eater.
		He stops off to eat briefly at times otherwise his life is one of maniacal flying between all the seed trays to ensure no other bird apart from his lady pin-tailed whydahs stop off to feed, mating, and fighting any reflection of himself in the windows or car mirrors.
		Whydahs are parasitises laying their eggs in the nests of other birds.

		Pin-Tailed Whydahs are found all through Africa, though most common in west and south Africa.
		Though they are small birds, these guys can be very aggressive and cannot be kept with timid birds in an aviary.
		Pin-Tailed Whydahs are parasitic breeders, meaning they lay their eggs in another bird's nest and do not actually care for their own young, similar to cuckoos.

		The birds named as "whydahs" often have long or very long tails.
		Most are brood parasites, which lay their eggs in the nests of estrildid finch species; the indigobirds select fire-finches, and the whydahs chose pytilias.
		Thus the Village Indigobird is often found with Red-billed Fire-finches.

		All fl and white with something streaming from behind it (turns out it was his very long tail) as it proceeded to head out over the water.
		Usually these feathers are found in the tail or wing (primaries or secondaries), and usually in a bilaterally symmetrical pattern.
		It's hard to be certain from one photo, but in my experience I frequently see such markings when the breeze parts the feathers.

		The male PIN-TAILED WHYDAH and several assorted other female African finches continued in the farm field on Access Road in Stratford at least through Sunday the 22nd.
		The major weather event of the preceding week, and perhaps of the entire season, since the Northeast has missed out on every one of this season's record number of storms of tropical origin, was a southeaster that started on Friday and ended late Saturday evening.

	Chapter VI: Conclusion
		It was as a matter of fact, the exalted religious spirit that principally gave to the various tribal units the cohesive power that formed the Ashanti into a warlike people, and tended to crush down the antagonistic magic of the Obayifo.
		Meanwhile at Sabee, the capital of the Kingdom of Whydah on the Slave Coast, well established Ophiolatry was extending its sway as a religious force of such proportions that the Dahomans themselves fell under its influence when once they had extended their domain to the sea through the conquest of Whydah.
		It is clear, then, that in its inception, Voodoo, as the West Indian offshoot of the Ophiolatry of Sabee, must be considered technically as a form of religion.
