This common Ploceidae weaver occurs in open country, especially cultivation and scrub. It is a communal breeder, building massive untidy stick nests in tree colonies, each of which may have several spherical woven nests within. Two to four eggs are laid. The White billed Buffalo Weaver is large and stocky, commonly measuring 23 to 24 centimeters. The adult is mainly black with white flecking on the back and wings. The conical bill is very thick, and appears more so because it is surmounted by a white frontal head shield. The bill is white in breeding males. The adult female and non breeding male are similar, but the bill is black. Young birds are dark brown in plumage. The White billed Buffalo Weaver is a gregarious species which feeds on grain and insects. This is a noisy bird, especially in bird colony colonies , with a range of cackles and squeaks.

Primary sources date March 2008 Colin Self b.1941 is a British Pop Art ist, whose work has addressed the theme of Cold War politics. As a student at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1961 to 1963 Colin Self b.1941, Rackheath , Norfolk , United Kingdom received encouragement for his drawings and collages from the artists David Hockney and Peter Blake artist Peter Blake . Visits to the USA and Canada in 1962 and 1965 heightened his consciousness of Cold War politics and events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament CND marches led him to create highly innovative prints such as Nuclear Bomber No.1 1963 , one of the earliest multiple plate etchings, and paintings such as Waiting Women and Two Nuclear Bombers 1962 63 . ref collection Pallant House Gallery, Chichester UK ref He also explored the relationship between violence and sexual threat in drawings of glamorous models and his iconic Leopard skin Nuclear Bomber sculptures. Following his trip to the United States in 1965 he produced a series of drawings based on American nuclear fall out shelters, Art Deco cinema interiors and of hot dogs, which he described as being as important a 20th century development as say a rocket. His highly personal and distinctive style of drawing led the artist Richard Hamilton artist Richard Hamilton to call him the best draughtsman in England since William Blake . During the 1960s Self showed with the Robert Fraser art dealer Robert Fraser Gallery , London. As printmaker, Self has been a great innovator and was a central figure in the 1960s boom in printmaking .
