"A gregarious species of open habitats, especially weedy and agricultural areas; occurs in flocks of tens to hundreds. Note the red eyes, hefty bill, and relatively large size. Where introduced in the Caribbean, the bill shape and eye color separate breeding male weavers from oriole species. Constructs compact hanging woven nests, often in large colonies in or near towns."
