Original sentence: Weaverbirds are famous for their grass nests that hang on a branch.

Simple correction: Weaverbirds build grass nests that hang from branches.

Why this is better (easy explanation):

  • Your sentence is almost correct. The small change is the preposition: we usually say something hangs from a branch, not hangs on a branch.
  • Using build makes the sentence clearer for young readers: it tells who makes the nests.
  • Using branches (plural) sounds natural because weaverbirds make many nests on many branches.

Other good options:

  • Weaverbirds are famous for their grass nests that hang from branches.
  • Weaverbirds build hanging grass nests on tree branches.

All of these are correct. The version above is the easiest to understand: Weaverbirds build grass nests that hang from branches.
