Abstract
Baya Weaver Ploceus philippinus is a highly social and gregarious bird of the family Ploceidae that has been recently listed as ‘Least Concern’ by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In India, four species of genus Ploceus are reported to date. This study focused on the appearance, distribution, diet specificity, nesting ecology, mating behaviour, and physiological responses to seasonal changes of P. philippinus. Populations have declined due to poor cultivation practices by farmers, rapid urbanization, and industrialization that have resulted in habitat loss. Weaver birds also face threats due to natural predators such as birds, and from insect damage to chicks, eggs, and nests.
