This tiny bird can weave a nest strong enough to withstand wind and rain.
The Thick-billed Weaver inhabits wetlands, reedbeds, and grasslands across sub-Saharan Africa. Using strips of fresh grass, the male skillfully weaves a hanging nest suspended among reeds or branches, while feeding on seeds, insects, and other small invertebrates.
