La reina de las viudas
El macho de la viuda regia (Vidua regia) es un pájaro de plumas negras, pecho amarillento y patas, pies y pico de color rojo. Tiene cuatro largas plumas directrices, que sólo están presentes en el macho en la época de celo. Se le

ve en pequeños grupos donde predominan los machos, que realizan vuelos vertiginosos mientras cantan para atraer a las hembras. Una vez que los machos se han acoplado con su pareja, la larga cola se les cae y cambian de plumaje, muy parecido al de las hembras. No hacen nido y se despreocupan del cuidado de sus crías al poner sus huevos en los nidos de otras aves.
