Golden-backed weaver

Ploceus bojeri

The Golden-backed weaver (Ploceus bojeri) is a small passerine bird native to Madagascar. It is known for its striking golden-yellow plumage on the back, with a black mask and yellow underparts. Males display a bright yellow coloration during the breeding season, while females and non-breeding males have more subdued plumage. These weavers are highly social birds and are often found in large colonies, building intricate woven nests in trees and shrubs. They primarily feed on seeds and insects, foraging in open grasslands and agricultural areas. The Golden-backed weaver is a delightful sight with its vibrant colors and intricate nest-building behavior.
