Baya Weaver Courtship Display or Nesting Competition


I photographed this two Baya Weavers few days ago at the usual nesting area - Raub Golf course.
This two birds are female and chasing each other. Could this a female rivalry, due to polygamous male?

Those nests fascinate me. I have seen them on a favorite nature show. I also have a DVD of exotic birds, and they showed a whole segment on weavers. Nature is certainly stunning and so are your photographs. Thank you!

Excellent Tabib!!! It looks like they are moving so quickly that taking pictures must have been hell!!

There's a lot of competition in our area too right now. Birds are chasing each other all over the place, fighting, trying to attract mates. The backyard's turning into a sleazy bar at closing time! *L*

I really like these photos. The weaver birds are social animals I guess. Sure makes an interesting photograph.
