Why it matters
The Sahel Paradise-Whydah is a fascinating example of brood parasitism, as it relies on the Green-winged Pytilia to raise its young. Collectors and ornithologists alike prize the male for its striking breeding plumage, which features a remarkably long, trailing tail that contrasts sharply with its short, pointed wings.
