🌍 Village weaver, male (Ploceus cucullatus) 

The Village weaver, or Spotted-backed weaver, is a small, stocky bird found in sub-Saharan Africa. Males are brightly coloured with black heads and yellow bodies, while females are a more subdued brown. These social birds are known for their intricate, woven nests, which they build in colonies. They are often found near human settlements, where they can be seen foraging for seeds and insects. GG 2024 (Edited)
