The Baya Weaver is a common and highly recognizable weaver species across South and Southeast Asia, famous for its elaborate, retort-shaped nests. Breeding males display a bright yellow crown and breast.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, inhabiting grasslands, cultivated fields, open country, and near human settlements.
How to spot
Look for their distinctive hanging nests, often in colonies, in thorny trees or near water bodies. Observe males flying with nesting material and their characteristic chattering calls.
When to spot
Visible year-round. The breeding season (often during monsoon or wet periods) is the best time to witness their spectacular nest-building displays and observe the males in their most vibrant plumage.

Baya Weavers are renowned for the male's complex nest-building skills, which involve weaving grasses and fibers into an intricate, hanging structure with a side entrance and an antechamber.
