    The weavers are similar to finches. But are not related. Weavers are named for the highly complex woven nests built by many species, though others build only crude nests, and the parasitic widow weavers build no nests at all. Most weavers are sedentary, noisy, gregarious, and polygynous, with elaborate courtship rituals. The weaver group is divided into the buffalo, sparrow, typical, and widow weavers. The African buffalo weavers are black-and-brown birds 8 to 10 in. (20.3–25.4 cm) long, that travel in small flocks and build bulky compartmented nests with separate chambers for two or more pairs. As common in Asia is the Eurasian tree sparrow (also introduced in the United States), a nuisance in rice fields and sold in great quantities for food. These birds build untidy domed nests with side entrances. Most specialized of the sparrow weavers is the social weaver of Africa, famous for its apartment-house nest, in which 100 to 300 pairs have separate flask-shaped chambers entered by tubes at the bottom. They build these structures, which may be 10 ft (3 m) high and 15 ft (4.5 m) across, high in a sturdy tree, beginning with a roof of straw thatch.

    The finished product! Gifts for our six pioneers. We put the JW.ORG stickers on the back of each tag with a message.
    Nice activity to use along with the Caleb and Sophia video based off of Acts 20:35. The real focus of this activity was geared to remind the little ones WHO the GREATEST teachers of all time are, Jehovah and Jesus. The ones most deserving of our love, appreciation, and recognition. Of course, we love and give credit to our imperfect teachers too ?

    Enjoy your day! Let’s remember to thank Jehovah for it ?

    Under the Giant Lily. Many were wondering what the root was like on the bottom of the giant Lily that we’ve shown in the past, Including us. Well the Giant Amazon Water Lily–Native to Brazil and the Amazon is simply amazing! This lily can grow up to 8’ leaves that can hold 300lbs. These strong and stiff leaves are covered with 1” spines on the maroon bottom of supporting ribs and sides.
