Several weeks ago I described a mystery bird that had come to one of
my ground feeders. Someone suggested a Saffron Finch, but this bird was much
larger. Not being a North American bird, it had to be an escaped cage bird.
After checking with the local pet store, Harriet Gerson and the internet, I
found that the bird is indeed a Cape Weaver (Ploceus capensis), a seed eater
very common in South Africa.
