Did You Know? Baya Weaver Nests Were Recorded in 'Ain-i-Akbari'! #shorts #birds #wildlife

Baya weavers are small, agile birds renowned for their intricate nest-building skills.

As the monsoon approaches, these birds undergo a dramatic transformation. Males develop vibrant yellow and black plumage on their heads, breasts, and throats. Their bills darken, signalling their readiness to mate.

Why the monsoon? Lush grass and insects provides a bountiful food source, perfect for raising a family.

The unique nesting habits of baya weavers were first documented in the 16th-century Ain-i-Akbari, a record of Akbar's administration, which is part of Akbarnama, the official chronicle of the reign of Akbar.

As the monsoon begins, baya weavers embark on a construction project. Intricate, helmet-shaped nests appear on trees and thorny shrubs near water bodies.

Watch as they showcase their incredible dedication and skill!
