Extraordinary!

Baya Weaver (Ploceus philippinus) males spend a lot of time building nests but seem unaware about specifications & QC controllers (females). Females reject poorly constructed nests.

Brown eyes with dark brown iris, dark brown streaks on crown and dark brown patterns on the shoulders and wings, tail is brown with highlights of off white. Legs are pale pink perched on in-progress nest made of hay, dry grass with a cavity for laying eggs. Baya weaver female (Ploceus philippinus)from Hoskote Lake,Bangalore, Karnataka,India.She is inspecting the nest is good enough for her to lay eggs. Perks of watching birds is you let them come to you rather than chasing them around. After spending many weeks with this group of birds, they literally sit on my hat sometimes.

Strelitzia nicolai is bird-pollinated in an unusual way. Perching birds, like this Cape weaver (Ploceus capensis), pick up the pollen on their feet! 📷: Andrew Core CCBYNC4. #Strelitziaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Want more #ornithophily? Prof. Jeff Ollerton wrote an excellent book about it.
A plate of two photos showing a yellowish bird perched on the flower of a Strelitzia. The bird’s feet are clasping the flower and exposing the anthers.
