A bright yellow weaver bird with a dark face is perched on thin thorny branches in a tree. Above it, several woven hanging nests cluster together, made from dry grass and plant fibers.
The bird sits alert near the nest site in open woodland. Weaver birds mainly eat seeds and insects, and the males weave these nests to attract mates and raise chicks.
