A few tidbits of information about this bird.
1) It is a lumped species. Back a few years ago this bird was lumped
with Reichman's Weaver.
2) It, as most all weavers as far as I can tell, is pretty sedentary.
Weavers as a family of birds build large nesting colonies. I don't
believe they ever really migrate, as there really isn't any reason for
them to.
3) Weavers as a family of birds are commonly kept caged birds ( I
really hate that term. Caged birds should be illegal. Period.)
Too bad something like a Hawfinch or Bullfinch or Brambling or some
such European vagrant didn't show up instead...now that would have been
a lot more interesting :)

Even though a Baglafecht Weaver is not an ABA bird, I am posting a
photo of it so others can see it.
