	Village Weaver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Village Weaver (Ploceus cucullatus) is a resident breeding bird species in much of sub-Saharan Africa, and has been introduced to Haiti.
		This weaver builds a large coarsely woven nest made of grass and leaf strips with a downward facing entrance which is suspended from a branch in a tree.
		Village Weaver feeds principally on seeds and grain, and can be a crop pest, but it will readily take insects, especially when feeding young, which partially redresses the damage to agriculture.

	Weaver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Weavers are small passerine birds related to the finches.
		These are seed-eating birds with rounded conical bills, most of which breed in sub-Saharan Africa, with fewer species in tropical Asia.
		Weavers get their name from the large woven nests many species make.

		Weaver outlined the common area on the map, noting of the 105 acre parcel, there will be 30 acres of common area and the balance as open space.
		Weaver stated the concerns regarding the open land that were expressed by the Commission and the public have been covered.
		Weaver added there is a difference in cost between concrete and bituminous, plus the asphalt sidewalk does not have joints nor shifts constantly, but rather tends to stay together better when a ribbon of sidewalk can be done.

	Beni Hassan Village Weavers of Iraq
		Just how highly a village weaver is regarded is best indicated by the fact that the decision as to whether the weaver could be photographed or even watched at her work was usually made by the weaver, while in other crafts practiced by women it was always made by the women's husbands or eldest sons.
		The main difference between the approach of other craftsmen and weavers in these kind of dialogues is that the women concern themselves with a person's family duties as well as his or her community responsibilities.
		The two major markets for the weaver's carpets are the people in her own village or those in the nearby Bedouin encampments which are occupied during late summer and fall.

		Weaver said village officials deemed the project necessary to improve the streets and stormwater drainage, and to boost water pressure to the estimated 270 homes in the area.
		Weaver and other village officials have previously acknowledged the project will be an inconvenience for residents during the construction periods.
		Weaver said Friday he expected about 100 people would attend the open house, based on the number of telephone calls the village had received in recent weeks about the project.

	INHERITANCE OF EGG-COLOR POLYMORPHISM IN THE VILLAGE WEAVER (PLOCEUS CUCULLATUS)
		In the weaver genus Ploceus, with approxi- mately 60 species (Moreau and Greenway 1962), white and bluish or blue-green eggs are com- mon, and green eggs less so, while brown as a ground color for the egg shell of different spe- cies is least frequent (Mackworth-Praed and Grant 1960, 1963, 1973, Meise 1983:519-521).
		Another reason for high egg variability in the Village Weaver may be as a defense against ob- ligate nest parasites, such as the Didric Cuckoo (Chrysococcyx caprius), the most common nest parasite of the Village Weaver (Chapin 1954, Friedmann 1968, Victoria 1969, 1972, Collias and Collias 1970, Collias 1984).
		The different races of the Village Weaver have similar variations in egg color and pattern, in which ground color varies from white through blues to greens, and from plain eggs to eggs spotted to varying degrees usually with brown or reddish brown.

		Moreover, the village weaver possesses several traits that evolved in the context of antagonistic coevolution.
		Moreover, weaver egg appearance in the absence of selection from brood parasites appears to be evolving directionally along a different adaptive trajectory: producing an eggshell color that decreases sunlight damage to the embryo.
		The decline in egg signature information caused weavers in the absence of the cuckoo to be poorer at recognizing their own eggs when I parasitized them with foreign eggs as a cuckoo would.

		The Village Weaver was introduced to the island of Hispaniola from Africa.
		The Village Weaver is now a common breeding species in agricultural areas and cattle ranches on the island of Hispaniola.
		In a study published in 1989 we documented that Village Weaver populations on Hispaniola had a very low rate of egg rejection, presumably because there were no brood parasites on Hispaniola at that time.

		Many weavers nest in huge colonies; densely-packed nests of the Village Weaver Ploceus cucullatus (below; the dark spots at the tips of the palm fronds) are a common sight in many small African towns.
		Weaver nests are so characteristic that they occupy several pages of plates in Zimmerman et al.'s (1996) new field guide to east Africa.
		I tend to think of weavers as an African family, but there are few weavers that occur in India, and fewer still that range as far east as Sumatra and Java.

		Weaver said–if weather conditions permit–contractors for the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will complete all concrete work and install the final layer of asphalt on a three block section of Main Street and the adjoining side streets in the downtown area by end of next month.

		Public works director Jerry Weaver has asked the village board to restore the odd-even day watering restrictions in an effort to conserve water, limit wear on the water well pumps, and assure adequate water pressure in the event of a major fire.
		They cited the village’s history of frequent well pump failures and maintained the restrictions were reasonable and helped limit wear on pump equipment.
		Weaver also presented board members with information concerning the continued growth in water usage by the increasing number of village water customers over the past two and a half years.

		Weaver said the crosswalk work will likely be moved up since the contractors are now facing an IDOT- imposed Oct. 15 deadline to install the final layer of asphalt on downtown area streets.
		Village president Craig Weber asked Weaver to request permission from IDOT to take down the no left hand turn sign for westbound traffic on Washington Street at Main Street when the crosswalks work is finished.

		With the advent of the industrial revolution, gradually machines took over from local craftsmen, and it was only in the more remote areas that individual weavers continued to serve the needs of their community, and the old craft survived unchanged.
		At the back, the end furthest away from the weaver, the warp threads are tied and then wound onto the horizontal warp beam (below C, which is the whip beam).

	SOME OBSERVATIONS ON BEHAVIORAL ENERGETICS IN THE VILLAGE WEAVERBIRD II. ALL-DAY WATCHES IN AN AVIARY
		Our Village Weaver female ate slightly more mealworms when in- cubating than she did on the day before she laid her first egg when she copulated.
		When a female Village Weaver was feeding nestlings we were unable to separate her own food intake from that of her nestlings, because she often ate part of the insect herself before giving the remainder to her young.
		SUMMARY Single individuals of the Village Weaverbird Ploceus (Textor) cucullatus cucullatus (Müller) were watched all day in a large outdoor aviary and the time or frequencies of various activities engaged in was recorded.

	Weaver's Warp
		It was a technique the Weaver found intriguing in its simplicity; the vertical threads of the warp were wrapped around a stick at one end and tied with a length of rope to a tree, rafter or anything similar.
		The Weaver heard the call of the hawk-like bird, and as it passed between her and the sun its shadow streaked across her weaving.
		She had gradually grown accustomed to the noise and bustle of the village and she wasn’t as bothered by it as she was at first, but now things started to seem unusually quiet.
