The Olive-headed Weaver is a small, striking passerine bird endemic to certain forest patches in central Africa. Males exhibit beautiful olive-green plumage, contrasting with a yellowish belly.
Where to spot
Found in the understory and mid-stratum of lowland evergreen forests in parts of central Africa, including Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Gabon.
How to spot
Look for its olive-green plumage and listen for its distinctive calls within dense forest undergrowth. It can be quite shy, so patience and quiet observation are key.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season when males are most active and vocal, typically correlating with the local rainy seasons, though they can be present year-round in their habitat.

This species often builds its nests relatively low in forest undergrowth, unlike many other weavers which prefer higher branches.
