The Golden Palm Weaver | WILDLIFE SINGAPORE BIRDING | 4K

The Golden Palm Weaver (Ploceus bojeri) is a striking bird species found in eastern Africa, particularly in countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Belonging to the weaver family, Ploceidae, this bird is known for its intricate nest-building behavior and vibrant plumage.
Adult male Golden Palm Weavers typically measure around 15 to 17 centimeters in length. They have bright yellow plumage on their head, neck, and underparts, with contrasting black markings on their wings, tail, and face. Additionally, they feature a distinctive black mask around their eyes and a slender, conical bill.
Golden Palm Weavers primarily inhabit savannas, grasslands, and wooded areas, where they forage for seeds, grains, insects, and other food items. They are often seen foraging in small flocks, hopping among branches and foliage in search of food.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Golden Palm Weavers is their nest-building behavior. They are known for constructing intricate, pendulous nests from palm leaves, grasses, and other plant materials. These nests are often woven in the shape of a flask, with a long entrance tunnel leading to a chamber where the female lays her eggs. Nests are typically suspended from palm fronds or other vegetation, providing protection from predators and the elements.
During the breeding season, male Golden Palm Weavers construct elaborate nests to attract mates, often building multiple nests within their territory. Females select mates based on the quality and intricacy of their nests. Once paired, both parents share incubation and chick-rearing duties.
While the Golden Palm Weaver is not considered globally threatened, it may face localized threats from habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation, urbanization, and changes in land use. Conservation efforts aimed at preserving and restoring suitable habitats are essential for ensuring the continued survival of this charismatic and industrious bird species, which adds beauty and vitality to its native landscapes.
