Weaver

Weaver

There are approximately 70 species of weavers. These small birds reach lengths no greater than 6 inches. These rather ordinary birds with dull, streaked plumage and conical, seed-eating bills become quite extraordinary during breeding season. During breeding season the male's plumage becomes more colourful. The male spends time artistically weaving a nest for his prospective mate. This redheaded weaver is just beginning construction.
