The long-tailed paradise whydah (Vidua paradisaea) is a small passerine bird from the Viduidae family, native to Sub-Saharan Africa. These granivorous birds primarily feed on seeds and are challenging to differentiate between sexes outside of the breeding season. During breeding, males molt into striking plumage with a long tail that can exceed three times the length of their body. They are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other songbirds without harming the original eggs. Originally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 as Emberiza paradisaea, they are now classified under the genus Vidua. Long-tailed paradise whydahs are known for their complex songs used in mating rituals, though females may also choose mates based on plumage or availability of singing males. Their conservation status is currently listed as least concern by the IUCN.
