The Rodrigues fody (Foudia flavicans) is a rare species of bird in the weaver family.

[2] The bird can be found in the canopy at heights of at least 5 metres (16 ft), and sometimes travels in flocks.

It may be associated with the Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria cunninghamii) and some introduced species of plants.

The bird also competes with its introduced relative, the Madagascar red fody (Foudia madagascariensis).

[2] Conservation efforts have included reforestation, the main cause of the increase in fody numbers.
