Nest weavers: Nestweavers weave nests out of weeds or other materials, nestweavers are a type of bird that weaves nests using grass and other things. There are about 145 species of these birds, which live mainly in Africa, Australia and South Asia.
Found in small numbers in Africa, two species – the house finch (or English finch) and the Eurasian tree sparrow – were introduced to North America. Different species of nesting birds range in length from 3 inches to 10 inches (to 25 cm). The color of the female is very monotonous, but the male of many species is very colorful.
Nestweavers are very similar to finches, especially with their short, hard conical beaks. Nestweavers feed on seeds, and some have become a public nuisance in rice paddies or other cereal-growing areas. They are social birds and often nest together and forage together.
The sociable nest weaver, or social nest weaver, is commonly found in Central Africa and South Africa. About 300 pairs of nestweavers build a nest out of hay and twigs, and there are different compartments. Nests can be up to 10 feet (3 meters) tall and 15 feet (meters) in diameter.
Yellow-breasted nesting birds from India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia can be woven with straw poles into a bottle-shaped nest that can be accessed through the notch underneath. Pairs of nestweavers will build their nests in the same tree, but the two nests will not be connected. The black-fronted nest bird lives in Ethiopia.
Pairs of nestweavers will build their nests on their own with grass, and these nests will hang upside down from tree branches.

In the kingdom of birds, the seam warbler is known for its unique nesting skills. It mainly lives in the south and southeast of Asia, and is a common bird in the mountains and forests of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian and other places in China. It has a small and delicate body, a pointed mouth and thin feet, and a lively temperament.
From April to August every year, it is the marriage and fertility period of the warbler. In order to prepare a comfortable nest for her children, the newlywed mother began to do needlework, sewing leaves and building nests. The method of nesting of the seam leaf warbler is very special, when making a nest, it will choose some large leaf plants, such as plantains, wild peonies, grapevines, etc. leaves as materials, first use a sharp sharp beak to peck out rows of small holes at the leaf edge 1-2 cm, and then use fine grass stems, spider silk or wild silk as a "thread", use their own sharp beak as a "needle", and pass the "thread" through the small hole, and sew the leaves together.
Stitch by stitch the leaves into a pocket-shaped nest. With each stitch, the warbler will also tie a knot in the "thread" to prevent it from loosening. It's like a clever sewing girl.
After the nest is sewn, the warbler looks around for soft materials such as feathers, fine grass, cotton wool and plant fibers, lays it into a small, warm and comfortable "home" in the nest, and then lays eggs, incubates eggs and raises children in this green cradle that is invisible from the outside.
In order to prevent the "house" from falling off due to the drying out of the petioles, the seam warbler will use some fibers to tie the petioles firmly to the branches. Moreover, it also keeps the nest at a certain inclination when building the nest to avoid rainwater from flowing into the nest. The design of the leaf warbler is very ingenious.

The nest woven by the sewing bird resembles a gourd with a handle, and it resembles the little boots on the feet of Mongolian babies. From a distance, it looks like a delicate lantern hanging deep in the greenery.
The nest woven by the sewing bird is about five inches long, and the small nest mouth is located on the "gourd handle". Because it is hung in the air with a strong horsetail, the "gourd handle" where the nest mouth is located is bent and stretched flat, so that it cleverly avoids the rain. The nest made of animal hair sewing and weaving can also protect against the cold and keep warm.
In addition, the nest hanging in the air makes it impossible for poisonous snakes that covet birds and chicks to do anything.
The nest of the sewing bird is covered with many long brown feathers, which are wrapped around the legs and claws of the chicks, so that the little birds cannot crawl out of the nest. Even if the wind blew the nest upside down by 180 degrees, the chicks were unharmed.
Sometimes, Mongolian herdsmen on the grassland occasionally collect the abandoned nests of the sparrows, and take them home for adults and children to admire. Because it is woven with animal hair, it is simply processed with scissors according to its shape to make a pair of small, strangely shaped little felt boots for toddlers who have not yet learned.
The sewing bird's nest is the essence of the bird's nest.

We came to visit the capital of Tanzania and stayed in a secluded hotel away from the city. The hotel is located right on the coast of the Indian Ocean, so we can say that the Indian Ocean is right under our window. Here is a special bird that intrigues me a lot.
This bird is called a sewing bird.
At the entrance of the hotel, there is a large tree, on which hundreds of sewing birds live. Sewing birds, as the name suggests, have sewing skills. Their nests are not muddy, but skillfully woven with young grasses with strong toughness.
I have carefully observed their work. They bring two or three feet of young grass from the grass on the coast of the Indian Ocean, first circle the grass into several circles with their pointed beaks, and then weave the long young grass into nests like weaving cloth. It seems that their sharp beaks are no less dexterous than human hands, but the work is quite arduous.
Their claws have to grip the branches, and the only thing they can do is the pointed beak. A bird works non-stop, and it takes two or three days to weave a nest. The nest was like a round gourd, strangely with its mouth down and bottom up.
I really wanted to climb up the tree to see what was going on, but as a foreign guest, it was rude and I had to give up.
One day at dawn, the tide swelled, and the splashing waves hit the window, waking me up from my dream. I got up and looked out, but it was raining and the wind was blowing. As I walked around my room, I suddenly remembered the sewing birds, their nests hanging like gourds on the branches, could they withstand the wind and rain?
After a while, the rain stopped. I picked up the sewing bird's nest and looked at it again and again. That's a fine work of art!
It is especially like the grasshopper cage we used to weave from straw bark when we were children, and it is so strong that even if it falls from the tree, it is not deformed at all. It's a pity: the sewing birds, as clever as they are, have not yet been able to weave such a delicate masterpiece firmly into the branches.
After only a violent storm, the nest was knocked down, and all the previous efforts were lost!
After breakfast, the sun was shining and the sky was clear. I was out to work, and I passed by the big tree, and I heard the chirping of sewing birds, and there was a commotion. Looking up, I saw the sewing birds flying around, and they began to get busy again......

01 Recently, scientists have discovered that the main predator of moa was probably the largest eagle in the world at the time. Although it cannot be said that the anthropomorphic species are certainly the main reason for the extinction of the moa, there is no doubt that human activities have dealt a fatal blow to the survival of the moa. >>>More

The vast majority of birds are small and lightweight, so the damage of bird strikes comes mainly from the speed of the aircraft rather than the mass of the bird itself. With the development of aviation technology, the speed of artificial aircraft continues to increase, the speed of some fighters can reach more than ten times the speed of sound, according to the momentum theorem, a kilogram of bird collides with an aircraft with a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, a force of 1500 Newtons will be generated, and a collision with an aircraft with a speed of 960 kilometers per hour will produce a force of 10,000 Newtons, and the high-speed movement makes the destructive power of a bird strike reach an astonishing degree. >>>More
