This week, I share photos of the weavers at San Diego Zoo, namely the Taveta Golden-Weaver and the Baglafecht Weaver. Both species are native to the grasslands of Africa and are known for their intricate nests and bright yellow feathers. In building their nests, males carefully assemble long blades of grass in an attempt to capture the attention of a mate. No two nests are exactly the same: the individual fibers and leaves chosen for in their construction affect the look and feel of the resulting nest.
