The '''estrildid finches''' are small [[passerine]] [[bird]]s of the [[Old World]] tropics and [[Australasia]]. They can be classified as the [[family (biology)|family]] '''Estrildidae''' or as a sub-group within the family [[Passeridae]], which also includes the [[true sparrow]]s.
They are gregarious and often colonial seed-eaters with short thick but pointed bills. They are all similar in structure and habits, but have a wide variation in plumage colours and pattern.
All the estrildids build large domed nests and lay 5-10 white eggs. Many species build roost nests Some of the fire-finches and pytilias are hosts to the brood parasitic [[indigobird]]s and [[indigobird|whydahs]] respectively.
Most are sensitive to cold and require a warm, usually tropical, habitat, although a few have become adapted to the cooler climates of southern [[Australia]].
