About These Birds
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.
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.
