Honestly, I did not change the order of the birds, and this one is even more beautiful so it deserves to share the #100 place . Also because it is the official bird of Uganda.   BY 100 (+1)

Ok so now I'm curious - how did the Strange Weaver get its name?  It doesn't look strange, does it have some sort of strange behaviour?  Does anyone know?

I have no idea. It certainly looks "normal" to me.

Moving forward toward the end of the book. Some relatives to Weavers here; and difficult to ID when they are in the transition period.
