Genus Philetairus
The sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) is a species of bird in the weaver family, endemic to Southern Africa.[2] It is the only species in its genus Philetairus. It is found in South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana,[1] but its range is centered within the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.[3] The species builds large, compound, community nests, a rarity among birds. These nests are perhaps the most spectacular structure built by any bird.[4]
