tbh I'm actively offended on behalf of obligate brood parasites for the nasty way science communicators talk about them behind their backs. it is both absolutely wild and objectively fucking cool that multiple groups of birds* have independently thrown parental care out the evolutionary window and achieved wild success by doing so. brood parasites with a high diversity of host species (as opposed to those tied to a single host species) may be able to essentially extinction-proof themselves by spreading out the risk of nest failure; very literally not putting all their eggs in one basket. the mutualistic relationship between honeyguides and the genus Homo could easily go back over a million years. the plumage of the common cuckoo is mimicry resembling the Eurasian sparrowhawk; Pliny the Elder believed that cuckoos turned into hawks in the winter. different lineages of a single cuckoo species often lay eggs in different colors and patterns, mimicking the eggs of their most preferred host species and giving us a window into the process of speciation. black-headed ducklings are completely independent within hours of hatching, leaving the nest without harming any of the ducklings from their host nest. don't talk shit about my favorite little guys.

*the old-world cuckoo genera Cuculus and Clamator, the monophyletic clade formed by the new-world cuckoo species of Tapera and Dromococcyx, the new-world passerine genus Molothrus and the old-world passerine family Viduidae, the old-world piciform family Indicatoridae, as well as Heteronetta atricapilla apparently alone out of all the anatids in the entire world

انثى ويدا طويل الذيل عصفور الجنه طويل الذيل long-tailed paradise whydah or eastern paradise whydah (Vidua paradisaea) فصيله يرجع ارتباطها قديماً بعائلة النساج ولكن تم انفصالها حديثاً الي فصيله منفصله خاصه بطيور الجنه او الويدا وهي من طيور العالم القديم التي تعيش وتتوزع بالمناطق الاستوائية من افريقيا وامريكا اللاتينية وينتقل منها الكثير من خلال مربي الطيور الي اوروبا واسيا حتى ثبت وجودها وتفريخها ببعض الاماكن خارج موائلها الطبيعيه . يكون الوان الذكر بين الابيضوالاسود والطوق الذهبي واللون البرتقالي بالصدر ويطول ربشات الذيل الي ١٥ سم قبل موسم التزاوج وتصل الي ٤٥ سم في موسم التزاوج ثم يغير الريشات بالذيل فترة الصيف والخريف وتنموا بالشتاء والانثى تميل الوانه للابيض والاسود والذهبي الاشهب وليس لها ريشان الذيل ويتغذى على الحبوب والحشرات الصغيره ويصنع الاعشاش بالنسج بين الاغصان المرتفعه وفي مجموعات ومستعمرات . ============== @boyahia ============== The long-tailed paradise whydah or eastern paradise whydah (Vidua paradisaea) is from the family Viduidae of the order Passeriformes. They are small passerines with short, stubby bills found across Sub-Saharan Africa. They are mostly granivorous and feed on seeds that have ripen and fall on the ground. The ability to identify between males and females is quite difficult unless it is breeding season. During this time, the males molt into breeding plumage where they have one distinctive feature which is their long tail. It can grow up to three times longer than its own body or even more. Usually, the whydahs look like ordinary sparrows with short tails during the non-breeding season. In addition, hybridization can occur with these paradise whydahs. Males are able to mimic songs where females can use that to discover their mate. However, there are some cases where females don't use songs to choose their mate but they use either male characteristics like plumages or they can have a shortage of options with song mimicry. Paradise whydahs are brood parasites. They won't destroy the eggs that are originally there but will lay their own eggs in other songbirds nest. Overall, these whydahs are considered least concerned based on the IUCN Red List of threatened species. (at الكويت محافظة الجهراء) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJT3CCLA1Kn/?igshid=p0rriedszipj
