A small, dumpy buff-and-brown weaver with a blue-gray bill, a dark bib, and scaly patterning on the back and flanks. Juveniles are duller, lacking the bib and scaling. It is restricted to open arid country, where hundreds can breed colonially in gigantic grass nests that are placed in trees or on man-made structures. Small to large groups forage on the ground, hopping and running after insects and seeds. The Scaly Weaver is smaller than the Sociable Weaver, is far less gregarious, and has a pinkish bill.

Michael Nowlan from The Sociable Weaver takes us through Kazoku, a contemplative sustainable design in the heart of Melbourne.
The incredible haystack-looking nests were captured in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa's Northern Cape province and are built by sociable weaver birds.
A very small, sandy-colored finch-like weaver with a scaly crown, a pale pink bill, and a black moustache on a white throat that gives it a fierce-looking expression. Small groups are resident and nomadic in grassy arid savanna, where there are trees and scrub nearby in which to build their untidy oval grass nests. The species sometimes gives a soft, reedy “cheet-cheet-cheet” flight call. The Sociable Weaver is much larger than the Scaly Weaver, with a blue-gray bill.
Tiny gray-and-white falcon that is similar in size to a shrike, though chunkier. The back is brown in females and gray in males. The white rump is conspicuous in fast, slightly undulating flight, which is very different from that of a typical falcon. Found in arid savanna, where it breeds in the nest of a Sociable Weaver or buffalo-weaver. Often perches up in the open, usually in pairs or small family groups. The call is a fast series of rasps or squeals.

The idea of the project was to create the farm as a public complex, not only industrial for employees and scientists, but also from local people and tourists participate. The purpose of the farm is to be a center for sustainable agriculture and through its activities it will tell people about alternative farming methods.
