This colorful bird is a male Village Weaver. These birds
are known for their skills as nest builders. The male builds
a nest that looks like an upside-down flask with an entrance from
the bottom. These birds breed colonially meaning that you see
numerous nests in one tree all hanging down together. It's
amazing to us that each bird can recognize its own nest but it must
be easily identifiable to the birds; that is, each nest is unique
to them as is each of our homes to us.
