Black-headed Weaver

Black-headed weavers are gregarious, highly social, and very noisy birds. They feed in large flocks, sometimes mixed with other species of weavers and starlings. The males are polygynous, mating with several females. After constructing a nest, the male hangs beneath and displays singing and flapping. If a female accepts his invitation and moves in he begins building another nest to attract another female. A successful male may attract four or five females.
