The Black-breasted/Bengal Weaver is primarily found in the plains and lowland areas, particularly in regions with dense vegetation near water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and marshes.
These weavers are highly social birds, often forming large colonies during the breeding season. They are known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve intricate nest-building by males to attract females. Outside the breeding season, they forage for seeds, grains, and insects in groups, displaying strong communal behaviors.
