Nest – every bird makes one (well almost all) Some are real cute, some fanciful and some very intricately done.
The worst nest I have seen is that of the pigeons. They just fetch some dried twigs and place them at random on a ledge and technically speaking their nest building is over. (lousy house makers?)
This weaver bird’s nest was not made here, but we got it from far away where it was abandoned (after use) and hung it in our patio. I had a look inside and was surprised to see that there were two rooms inside !!
But this nest here was built on our patio by the Red vented Bulbul.
And this was our next guest, the white breasted Munia.
Real cute couple. Every time when they left the nest they made sure that no one is looking
I enjoyed the complete process of their nest building and have a series of snaps. To see them click here.

Bird's nests are very interesting to me! This one reminds me of our Baltimore Oriole. They make a hanging one something like this with string and horse tail hairs, etc. I love to watch birds.
