Description Sociable Weaver Bird en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociable…


One of the many (and more mysterious) inhabitants that could live within the antlers of the Dryad Deer www.deviantart.com/toonholt/ar…

Their social structure are similar to mole-rats and termites (both males and (sterile) females work together to care for the queen) and built large compound nests and tunnels within the trees and are omnivorous/opportunistic eaters. Colonies are small but on rare occasions, they can have more than one queens if the situation calls it. 

They follow an unusual but basic morphology system for how its possible is still unknown: workers, they take care of what happen within the nest such as construction and nurturing the chicks while the soldiers patrol outside the nest and if anything come close to the nest, they'll attack with their claws and beaks until it either gave up and run away or dead in which will benefit the colony. 

When a queen died from old age or other causes, the hormones from the sterile females kicks in and start competing each other to claim the title, sometime it can be to the death and will dispose any bodies instead of eating them, they do not practice cannibalism...its not in their nature. When a female take the title queen, the males of the colony start mating without any risks of inbreeding because their reproduction are similar to black crazy ants (watch this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9OdQl… ) but they can go out to the world and find a mate that is not related to any member of the colony.
