Ploceidae
Their name is related to their elaborately woven nests, the most elaborate of any birds.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 sociable weavers build large communal nests.
Weaver birds are seed-eaters with rounded conical bills, most of which are from Sub-Saharan Africa, with fewer species in tropical Asia.
I think that the two birds in the last photo died and were caught in the communal nest.
