The Village Weaver is a small bird native to sub-Saharan Africa, known for its striking yellow and black plumage. It typically inhabits grasslands and savannas, often near water sources. These birds are social and often found in large colonies, where they build intricate nests using grass and other plant materials. The male Village Weaver is particularly notable for its elaborate courtship displays, which include weaving nests to attract females. Their nests are usually suspended from tree branches, providing protection from predators. This species plays a vital role in its ecosystem by helping to control insect populations and contributing to seed dispersal.
