About These Birds
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.
