Estrildidae, or estrildid finches, is afamily of small seed-eatingpasserine birds of theOld World tropics andAustralasia. They comprise species commonly known as munias, mannikins, firefinches, parrotfinches and waxbills.

They are gregarious and often colonialseed eaters with short, thick, but pointed bills. They are all similar in structure and habits, but vary widely in plumage colours and patterns.

All estrildids build large, domed nests and lay five to ten white eggs. Many species build roost nests. Some of the firefinches and pytilias are hosts to thebrood-parasiticindigobirds andwhydahs, respectively.

Most are sensitive to cold and require warm, usually tropical, habitats, although a few, such as theeastern alpine mannikin,mountain firetail,red-browed finch, and the genusStagonopleura, have adapted to the cooler climates of southernAustralia and the highlands ofNew Guinea.

The smallest species of the family is theShelley's oliveback (Nesocharis shelleyi) at a mere 8.3 cm (3.3 in), although the lightest species is theblack-rumped waxbill (Estrilda troglodytes) at 6 g (0.21 oz). The largest species is theJava sparrow (Padda oryzivora) at 17 cm (6.7 in) and 25 g (0.88 oz).[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The family Estrildidae was introduced in 1850 by the French naturalistCharles Lucien Bonaparte as "Estreldinae", a spelling variant of the subfamily name.[2][3] In the list of world birds maintained byFrank Gill,Pamela Rasmussen and David Donsker on behalf of theInternational Ornithological Committee (IOC) the family contains 140 species divided into 41 genera.[4] Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown the family Estrildidae issister to the familyViduidae containing the indigobirds and whydahs. The two families diverged around 15.5 million year ago.[5] Themost recent common ancestor of the Estrildidae is estimated to have lived around 10.9 million years ago.[6] A genetic study of the Estrildidae by Urban Olsson andPer Alström published in 2020 identified 6 majorclades. The radiations within these clades occurred between 4.5 and 8.9 million years ago. The authors proposed that each of these clades should be treated as a subfamily.[6] This contrasts with an earlier proposal in which the family was divided into three subfamilies.[7]
