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.
Baya Weaver
The Baya Weaver is a widespread and well-known weaver bird found across South and Southeast Asia, inhabiting grasslands, scrub, and cultivated areas. Males in breeding plumage are bright yellow above with a streaked brown back, building elaborate, retort-shaped woven nests that hang from trees or tall grass. They are highly gregarious, nesting in large colonies and feeding on grass seeds and grains.
