About These Birds
Aldabra Fody
The Aldabra Fody is an endangered weaver bird weighing about 24 g with a wingspan near 15 cm, endemic to Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles. It inhabits scrub and woodland on the atoll, feeding on seeds and insects, and is threatened by introduced predators and a small population size.
Black-headed Weaver
The Black-headed Weaver is a medium-sized weaver; breeding males have a bright yellow body and wings contrasting with a solid black head. It inhabits reed beds, riverine vegetation, and moist grasslands in a broad band across sub-Saharan Africa. It feeds on seeds and insects, and colonial breeding males construct intricate woven nests suspended over water to attract females.
