Real stuffed white-headed buffalo weaver on a black metal base. Rare piece of taxidermy made according the current taxidermy standards. The bird (22 cm) is treated against insect damage.

Breeding pairs are monogamous and nests are built together. The breeding season is related to rainfall and varies according to local conditions. Nest materials are pushed together, not interwoven, to form an oval 570 mm (22 in) wide. A short entrance tube opens downwards. Soft materials line the inner portions of the nest, which usually has several rooms, with defensive thorny branches on the outside.

Please note that all the birds died naturally and were not killed for taxidermy.
