Weavers

I have mentioned before that there are cute yellow birds here called Weavers. Their name comes from the way that they build their nests – woven pieces of grass.As I understand it, the male birds build the nest to attract a mate. Here is a tree in the Middle school courtyard with many nests hanging in it. The entrance to each nest is from the bottom. If the female is not impressed with the nest then she pushes it out of the tree. Hence, there are many weaver nests lying all over the ground…..
