wow, i think i'll be getting some palm trees :lol: is that a large tree fern in the one picture or just another type of palm? the weaver in the one pic looks similar to the one i have, has a different name though.

thinking about it they must be called palm weavers for a reason so i'll be putting palm trees at the top of my to get list for aviary plants

Hi Chris

I was just going by the name Dad gave me, but I also thought Palm Weavers.

I can't begin to say how jealous I am! Mum and Dad have recently bought property in Africa......and I will visit even though my husband will not fly!

They brought me back a great book on East African Birds, I only wish I could have taken the photos myself!

I hope you enjoyed viewing the photos' as much as I did. :D
