dinner time

Look at this guy eating mushroom for dinner, he really liked it, but I think he likes the edges, he was huge, about 9-10 inches long, I just looked at him from far, but the guide picked him up and put it on his hand...

crows

All the crows in Ghana have a white jacket on, it looks like they are all dressed up and going to to dinner.. they are really funny, they walk upright and straight, now if only I would put a bowtie on them...

Weaver birds...

Weaver birds, also known as weaver finches, get their name because of their elaborately woven nests (the most elaborate of any birds'), though some are notable for their selective parasitic nesting habits. The nests vary in size, shape, material used, and construction techniques from species to species. Materials used for building nests include fine leaf-fibers, grass, and twigs. Many species weave very fine nests using thin strands of leaf fiber, though some, like the buffalo-weavers, form massive untidy stick nests in their colonies, which may have spherical woven nests within. The sparrow weavers of Africa build apartment-house nests, in which 100 to 300 pairs have separate flask-shaped chambers entered by tubes at the bottom. Most species weave nests that have narrow entrances, facing downward.
