Weaver birds are nature’s engineers. They build intricate nests from vegetable material such as grass, leaves and palm fronds. Most weaver birds are found in Africa with a few in South Asia and Australia. They belong to the Ploceidae family of birds which has over 120 species. In this video, we will explore the amazing architecture of weaver birds and how they use their beaks and feet to weave, knot and stitch their nests. We will also learn about the different types of nests that weaver birds make, such as the pendant-shaped nests of the baya weavers and the huge communal nests of the sociable weavers. We will also discover how weaver birds choose their nest locations, how they attract mates with their nest-building skills, and how they protect their nests from predators and harsh weather conditions.
