• ... that an "invasion" of thousands of broad-tailed paradise whydahs was reported in Kasane in 1994? Source: "There was an invasion, reportedly of thousands, of Broad-tailed Paradise Whydahs in Kasane in 1994." Birds of Botswana
  • ALT1:... that the broad-tailed paradise whydah is a brood parasite and mimics the host's call? Source: "Niclolai (1964) has provided sonograms of comparative vocalizations of this species and those of its host the orange-winged pytilia.

5x expanded by Gulumeemee (talk). Self-nominated at 04:28, 31 December 2016 (UTC).

• New enough, long enough, within policy. Hooks verified. Hooks are interesting, I like the first hook. Everything OK, good to go. Snek01 (talk) 12:07, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

• I expanded the orange-winged pytilia article and reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Chelidonura fulvipunctata, but the expansion is not within seven days of the expansion of the broad-tailed paradise whydah article. Am I allowed to add the orange-winged pytilia to the hook, or do I have to create a new nomination? Gulumeemee (talk) 06:02, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Add a double hook right here if you like. Snek01 (talk) 23:22, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

• ALT2: ... that the broad-tailed paradise whydah parasitises the orange-winged pytilia and mimics its call?

• This hook uses the same source as ALT1. I think the second article needs to be reviewed. Gulumeemee (talk) 05:05, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

New enough, long enough, within policy. Hook ALT2 verified. Good to go. Snek01 (talk) 15:57, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

• Note: striking earlier hooks so ALT2 with both articles is used. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:22, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
