The Red Fody has also been introduced to the Chagos Archipelago, Bahrain and Saint Helena. While the Red Fody is one of the commonest birds of the region, several of the other fodies are considered to be threatened, particularly the Mauritius Fody which is classed as critically endangered. The birds are 12 to 15 centimetres long and have short, conical bills. Males in breeding plumage are usually colourful with bright red or yellow on the head and sometimes elsewhere. More
