Giới Thiệu
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.
