The Black-chinned Weaver is a distinctive weaver bird with a black face and chin, contrasting with its yellow body. It is a forest-dwelling species, often found near water.
Where to spot
Found in Central Africa, including Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, and Democratic Republic of Congo. Inhabits lowland rainforests, particularly along rivers and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its black face and chin contrasting with a yellow body. Search near forest rivers and clearings. Listen for its typical weaver vocalizations.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Breeding season is often tied to local rainy periods. Active during daylight hours.
Like many weavers, males build intricately woven nests, typically suspended from branches over water or clearings, which can be an impressive feat of avian architecture.
