Indigo Bird

Indigo Birds, formally known as Widow Finches, and sometimes referred to as Combassous. These are an interesting group of finches in the Vidua family, which they share with all the true Whydahs. They are unique to the African continent and have evolved over the millennia into a very interesting group of birds. They are probably not that well known in Aviculture outside of South Africa. They are always a joy to spot in the bush and make for very interesting avicultural subjects!
