The Baya Weaver Birds (Ploceus philippinus) are small, sparrow-sized birds renowned for its extraordinary nest-building abilities. This species, found mainly in South Asia, is sexually dimorphic. It means that both males and females differ in appearance, with males boasting bright yellow plumage during the breeding season.
These birds are commonly found in rural areas, especially near wetlands, grasslands, or even in human-altered landscapes like farmlands. What sets the Baya Weaver bird apart from other birds is its intricate, hanging nest woven from grass and leaves—a true marvel of avian engineering.
