Juba Weaver

Anaplectes jubaensis

The Juba Weaver (Anaplectes jubaensis) is a small songbird found in the savannas and grasslands of East Africa. It is characterized by its bright red plumage on the head, breast, and rump, with the rest of the body being a dull brown. The Juba Weaver is known for its intricate and elaborate woven nests, which are often suspended from the tips of grass stems. These birds are highly social and often form large flocks, especially during the breeding season. They primarily feed on seeds and insects, foraging on the ground and in low vegetation. The Juba Weaver is not currently considered to be at risk, and its population is believed to be stable.
