Sociable Weaver
The Sociable Weaver is a small bird native to southern Africa, known for its unique nesting behavior. These birds build large, communal nests that can house multiple families, often containing hundreds of individual nests within a single structure. The nests are made from grass and are typically found in trees, providing protection from predators and harsh weather.
Sociable Weavers are social creatures, often seen foraging in groups. They primarily feed on seeds and insects, which they find in their arid habitats. Their cooperative breeding behavior and strong social bonds contribute to their success in the wild, making them a fascinating example of avian social structure.
