Weaver Bird the king of nest weaving birds

Weaver birds are small to medium-sized passerine birds that are found in Africa, Madagascar, and parts of Asia. They are known for their elaborate nests, which are woven from grasses and other plant materials and are often suspended from trees or other structures. There are around 90 species of weaver birds, which are divided into two main groups: the true weavers and the bishop weavers.

True weavers are small, sparrow-like birds that build nests that are woven from grasses and other plant materials. These nests are often suspended from trees or other structures and are used for breeding and raising young. True weavers are found in Africa and Madagascar and include species such as the sociable weaver and the village weaver.

Bishop weavers are slightly larger than true weavers and are found in parts of Africa and Asia. They build nests that are more elaborate than those of true weavers, with a round entrance and a long tunnel leading to the nesting chamber. Bishop weavers include species such as the golden weaver and the red bishop.

Weaver birds are known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve the males building nests or other structures to attract females. They are also social birds and often live in large colonies, with each individual contributing to the construction and maintenance of the nests.
