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-necked Weaver
The Black-necked Weaver is a medium-sized weaver; males have a black head and neck, golden-yellow body, and brown wings, while females are more streaked. It inhabits dense forest edges, secondary growth, and tall vegetation near water in west-central Africa. Males build woven hanging nests in colonies, and the species feeds on seeds, insects, and berries.
