Loving pair

Tis time of the year when many avian feathers are preparing for reproduction. The olive-backed is no exception. Unlike the baya weaver where the male did all the nest building for the female to inspect, it appears that the male is using its eye-power to hasten the female counterpart to omplete the nest ASAP. Interesting isn't it?

Nesting materials comprised of fluffy flower petals to dried leaves. Frequency could range from 10 to 20 ferry service per hour. Top image shown female olive-backed tending to her nest meticulously.

Soon we will get to see the little ones but first the eggs must be fertilized!
