The Ploceidae family, commonly known as weavers, consists of small to medium-sized birds primarily found in Africa and parts of Asia. They are known for their intricate nest-building skills, often weaving elaborate structures from grass and other plant materials. Many species exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males typically displaying brighter plumage during the breeding season to attract females. Weavers are social birds, often found in large colonies. They primarily feed on seeds and insects, playing a vital role in their ecosystems. Notable members of the Ploceidae family include the Village Weaver and the Yellow Weaver, both recognized for their distinctive nesting behaviors and vibrant colors.
