Yellow-capped Weaver

Ploceus megarhynchus

The Yellow-capped Weaver (Ploceus megarhynchus) is a small passerine bird found in the woodlands and savannas of East Africa. This species is known for its striking yellow cap and bright yellow underparts, which contrast with its olive-green upperparts. The male has a distinctive black mask and throat. Yellow-capped Weavers are highly social birds, often seen in large flocks, and they are known for their intricately woven, gourd-shaped nests. These birds are primarily seed-eaters, foraging for grass seeds and grains in their habitat. The Yellow-capped Weaver is not currently considered threatened, and its population is stable.
