Weaver Birds

Baya Weaver Bird (Male)

Baya Weaver Bird (Female)
Picking, stitching and preening its nest with utmost care is a Weaver Bird, the way it picks up the right straw/paddy-leaves/coarse-grass and stitches each one with its beak is impeccable and absolute delight to watch. As observed the chief architect of the bottle-jar shape nests are male Weaver Birds, while the female weaver bird usually feeds the young ones.

As I stood beside the nests, the mother bird fetched the food for the younger ones and with whisking fast enters the tunnel of the bottle-jar shape nest to reach the young ones.
