Taveta (Golden) Weaver Ploceus castaneiceps

The Taveta Weaver, also called Taveta Golden Weaver, is native to East Africa, mainly to savannah of Kenya and Tanzania. They live in large flocks.

The male has a bright yellow-orange face, bright yellow underparts and olive upperparts. The female has much more olive-yellow plumage overall.

Like most other weaver birds, the male weaver constructs a suspended woven-grass nest to attract a female. The nest is usually suspended over water.
