🐦 Weaver Bird 🐦


🦋Ever try to weave a basket out of grasses or palm fronds?
It'd be really tough, right? But it's nothing for the Weaver bird.🔅

🎍Weavers are small birds related to finches. There are an incredible 57 species of weavers and all have their own styles and strategies for building elaborate nests.🔅


🦋Typically it is the male birds that build the nests as a way to woo females.🔅

🦋"The breeding male ploceine typically has bright yellow markings, is polygynous,and makes a nest that resembles an upside-down flask, with a bottom entrance, which may be a sort of tube. He attracts females by hanging upside down from the nest while calling and fluttering his wings.🔅

🎍These little birds are truly masters at building structures out of twigs, stems and other odds and ends. Watching them at work is, well, mind-blowing.🔅

📹 watch the next video to see how these birds are amazing💕😍

✅Learning the meaning of different word roots will help you make educated guesses about the meaning of unfamiliar words, and you'll begin to see commonalities among words that share the same root.


🔰Some common word roots are:

🔅-geo: earth
e.g.: geology

🔅-photo: light
e.g.: photographer

🔅-aud: to hear and listen
