Passeroidea subgrouping - non-NPO families

To keep the very large Passeroidea superfamily moving along without holding the rest of the tournament up too much, I've decided to run a poll of Passeroidea families not in the nine-primaried oscine clade to narrow down the next poll up.

Which is the best bird?

Long-tailed paradise whydah

House sparrow

Gouldian finch

Maroon-backed accentor

Jackson's widowbird

Sociable weaver

Red avadavat

New pattern available: Pin-Tailed Whydah!

One of my personal favourites. As a kid, I loved to watch them dance for their mates. This pattern has a total of 7 DMC colours and should be a quick one to stitch! The pattern fits comfortably on an 8" hoop.

Also, I am on Etsy now too! So, if that's more your thing, you can go and favourite or follow my lil shop from there. :) Ty <3
