Birds Of South Asia
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimming. Bi ...

Ploceus
''Ploceus'' is a genus of birds in the weaver family, Ploceidae. They are native to the Indomalayan and Afrotropical realms. Taxonomy and systematics Phylogeny The genus ''Ploceus'' was introduced by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1816. The type species was subsequently designated as the baya weaver. The genus name is from Ancient Greek πλοκευς ''plokeus'' meaning "weaver", and is derived from the Greek word πλεκω ''plekō'' "to entwine". Based on recent DNA-analysis, the genus ''Ploceus'' is almost certainly polyphyletic. If all species currently included in the genus would remain and the genus would be made monophyletic, it would have to encompass the entire subfamily Ploceinae. The Ploceinae can be divided into two groups. In the first group, the widowbirds and bishops (genus '' Euplectes'') are sister to a clade in which the genera ''Foudia'' and ''Quelea'' are closest relatives and which further includes the Asiatic species of ''Ploceus'', i.e. ...

Among the population variations, five subspecies are recognized. The nominate race ''philippinus'' is found through much of mainland India while ''burmanicus'' is found eastwards into Southeast Asia. The population in southwest India is darker above and referred to as subspecies ''travancoreensis''.
