Spottedbacked Weaver (Ploceus cucullatus)

Wally--or 'Wal' to his mates--is a Weaver Bird. The, er, hive-lookin' thing is his nest. He's a noisy little git, probably accentuated by the fact that he's currently got two females occupying the two nests in the pics, and spends not a small amount of time keeping them in order.(the females, not the nests...) And getting a tiny bit ratty with other males trying to muscle in on the dames.The fact that he's built a third seems to suggest that he's either a real estate developer, hoping for a third chum (go Wally!)or taking over the neighbourhood. He seems to have fairly firm ideas about which female should occupy which nest. Today, the dames are quite literally feathering their nests.
Amusingly enough, the males build the nest on spec. as it were; the females check them out. If acceptable they'll move in, if not they pull the nest to pieces and he's left devasted, alone and forlorn. One hopes Wally is somewhat philosophical about that.
As you might well have guessed by now, the Story of Wally (and his kind) is replete with all manner of what-passes-for Blue witticisms about interior decorating, the construction industry, and the nesting habits of females. Which for the time being (and in the name of self-preservation) I'll forgo. But you can just imagine.
