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.
African Golden Weaver
The African Golden Weaver weighs about 31g and inhabits coastal East Africa. Males are vivid yellow with orange-washed heads and weave intricate hanging nests over water during breeding season.
