Crazy but when I did some searching the Millet comes up as "Millet grasses"

That said, this is a great image of this Weaver wondering why you are watching it ;)

I'm not sure what such seed structures on grasses are called. Spikes, perhaps? Obviously, the weavers don't care as long as the seeds are tasty :D

That really is a beautiful image you've taken of this weaver Doux and the millet seed head is lovely too.

A super picture - very well done my friend.

Weaver birds are common visitors to the millet fields here in India too!
Good shot!
