Where to spot
Found in East and Southern Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, and Zambia. Inhabits dry savannas, open woodlands, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its bright yellow plumage and black mask (in breeding males). Search open savannas and woodlands. Listen for their typical weaver chattering calls.
