    I think I'm afraid of rain and snow, but this structure has a better lighting effect, so it's warmer when it's not snowing.

    That's not true; Actually, the magpie bird's nest is facing sideways, but we seem to be facing upwards.

    Not afraid, the reason why they face up is to go out conveniently, if they face down, they will have to squeeze in again, and it will also make the young birds inside breathless.

    Magpie nests are not afraid of wind and snow. The magpie nest looks relatively rough on the outside, but in fact the magpie nest is very fine. The magpie nest can be divided into three levels, the first layer is the outer layer of branches, the second layer is the middle layer of feathers that can not be afraid of rain and snow, and the third layer is the innermost layer with cotton wool and fine grass for comfortable sleeping.

    The magpie nest is placed facing upwards to facilitate reproduction and feeding to the offspring.

    Magpie nests are built for the same purpose as other birds, for laying eggs and brooding. Magpies usually lay their eggs in March-May, and they start to choose the right place to nest before they lay eggs. The nest of the magpie and the nest of the swallow are not the same, the nest of the swallow will choose under the eaves of the house of human habitation, while the nest of the magpie will choose between the branches of the large trees that are relatively high in the open space.

    After all, swallow's nest is mostly built with mud and straw, and this kind of nest cannot be used outdoors, otherwise it will be easily wet.

    The magpie nest is made of branches on the outer layer, and each branch can play a role in balancing the force, so it can be used firmly outdoors without fear of the wind blowing the nest away. In addition, magpies are all "feng shui masters", and their nests are often in the leeward direction, and the middle layer of the nest is stabilized by feathers, and their feathers contain a lot of oil, so they will not be afraid of rain and snow.

    As mentioned above, magpie nests are built for the purpose of laying eggs and brooding. For such a purpose, the magpie's nest will provide everything for achieving such a purpose. In reality, magpies mostly appear in pairs, whether it is brooding or building a nest, male and female need to cooperate to complete.

    When the magpie's nest mouth is upward, it is easy for the female bird to enter and exit freely and save time in and out. Assuming that the magpie nest mouth is downward, it will not only cause inconvenience for male and female birds, but also most of the chicks will not fly on their own, and it is easy to fall. For this reason, magpie nests are facing upwards is their innate ability, and it is rare to see magpies with their mouths facing down in real life.

    In particular, in the process of incubating eggs, male and female magpies need to cooperate alternately. In this respect, the magpie's nest mouth is also upward to facilitate incubation. In addition, the magpie nest is not afraid of wind and rain, and is often built on the leeward side, which makes the nest mouth upward become very scientific.

    Magpie nests are mostly oval in shape, and the location of the building will be 7-15 meters above the ground. The outer diameter of the fossa is about 85 centimeters and the height is about 60 centimeters. The actual space that can be used is only about 35 centimeters, and it is said that the magpie nest has already covered the top of the nest when it was built, and the thickness of the top of the nest can reach about 30 centimeters.

    Because the top of the nest is made of very delicate branches, even if it rains heavily or snows, the magpie will not be able to see a drop of water in the nest.

    In short, the magpie nest is not afraid of rain and snow, as for why the nest mouth will go up, it is caused by the above reasons. In addition, magpies can lay 5-8 eggs per litter, and the incubation period is about 17 days. After the magpie hatches, the male and female take turns to feed the chicks until they grow old enough to fly and hunt on their own, which often takes about a month.

    There is also a risk situation, if some birds of prey take over the newly built nest, the magpie will choose other places to continue to build very industrious.

    The magpie nest must be leaking, but it is slight, when we were children, we often went up to see, it was fluffy, and there was a feeling of wetness when you reached into it, and the magpie nest you saw may not be leaky, people are different, and birds are the same, maybe the magpie nest you see is built by magpie senior technicians. The magpie's nest is not watery in the first place! The rain falls naturally!

    Naturally, there was no snow, and a little rain and snow naturally fell.

    Although magpies are birds, they are particularly intelligent, and they often choose to build their nests in tall trees, places that are not easy for humans to approach, and the nest can be protected from the sun and snow, and the magpie is still a bird that people like, much stronger than crows. Although the magpie nest is all made of branches, it is all made of thick grass and mud, leaving only one exit in the southeast, which is both sheltered from the cold wind and warm, because the grass is thick and grassy, the rain is not transparent, and it is not afraid of snow.

    Any animal has its survival skills. Who said it wasn't afraid of rain and snow. He just didn't have a better way.

    The magpie's ridge is not a layer, but a combination of many branches and layers, which is very strong. Let's talk about another kind of magpie, which people call the gray magpie. This kind of magpie does not build a ridge, but builds a single ridge on the tree, and from the bottom of the tree, it looks like a large saucer placed on the tree with the mouth facing up, and such a ridge is clearly leaking.

    When I was a child, I saw the scene of the gray magpie forcibly occupying the magpie ridge: the gray magpie forcibly occupied the magpie ridge with a numerical advantage. But I didn't see a gray magpie living in a magpie hill.

    The play says that the magpie who was occupied took advantage of the gray magpie's absence, demolished the magpie and moved to another place to rebuild his home.

    However, I subjectively believe that the magpie nest is not used by magpies to shelter from rain and snow, but is used to breed offspring hatching nests and resting places, and magpies are not afraid of rain and snow. The same goes for the magpie, its body hair can keep it warm, and its nest is designed to be hollowed out, so there will be no rain or snow precipitation. So you feel that it is not afraid of rain and snow, but in fact, it is afraid.

    Who is not afraid of the power of nature. Therefore, we human beings are no longer the victorious people of the past, but live in harmony with nature. So take good care of our environment.

    Because when the magpie builds a nest, it will choose a place that can withstand wind and snow to build a nest, and the whole magpie nest is particularly strong, the appearance seems simple, but the internal structure is particularly complex.

    Because its nest is very strong, and its bedroom is located at the highest end of the woods, which is also the densest place, it cannot be reached by rain and snow.

    The industrious magpie lives in a warm nest.

    This is a sentence from the primary school text "The Bird of the Cold Trumpet".

    Supplement: The Bird of the Cold

    There is a stone cliff at the foot of the mountain, and there is a crack in the cliff, and the cold bird takes this crack as its nest. There is a river in front of the stone cliff, and there is a large poplar tree by the river, on which live magpies. The trumpeter bird and the magpie lived face to face and became neighbors.

    The autumn wind is blowing in the hail slag, the leaves are falling, and winter is coming.

    One day, the weather was fine. The magpie flew out early in the morning, searched everywhere, brought back some dead grass, and busily made a nest to prepare for the winter. But the cold bird goes out to play all day, and when he is tired, he comes back to sleep. The magpie said, "Bird of the cold trumpet, don't sleep, it's a sunny day, hurry up and make a nest." ”

    The cold bird did not listen to the advice, and lay down in the crevice of the cliff and said to the magpie: "Silly magpie, don't make noise, let the sun shine high, just sleep." ”

    Winter is just around the corner, and the cold wind is blowing. Magpies live in warm nests. The cold bird shivered in the crack of the cliff, and kept crying: "Doro, Doro, the cold wind freezes me to death, and I will make a nest tomorrow." ”

    The next morning, the wind stopped, and the sun was warm, as if it was spring again. The magpie came to the crevice of the cliff and persuaded the cold bird: "Take advantage of the sunny weather, make a nest quickly, be lazy now, and be sad in the future." ”

    The cold bird still did not listen to the advice, stretched his waist, and replied: "Silly magpie, don't be verbose, the weather is warm, and you can get by." ”

    In the cold winter, heavy snow falls. The north wind roared like a lion, and the crevices of the cliffs were as cold as ice cellars. The cold trumpet bird repeated its wail: "Doro, Doro, the cold wind freezes me to death, and I will make a nest tomorrow." ”

    The day dawned, the sun came out, and the magpie called out to the cold trumpeter bird in the branches. However, the bird had already frozen to death in the night.

    The magpie's nest is not afraid of rain and snow, because this nest is very delicately built, with a total of three floors, and the rain cannot penetrate into it at all. The magpie also adds mud and its own saliva to the nest, which makes the nest very strong and fits perfectly, without leaking wind or rain. The nest thus built is very sturdy and can withstand winds of about 10 degrees.

    Magpie nests are really delicate and pay more attention to their nests than most birds. When building, first find a big tree, find a place with branches in the place of the big tree 2 3, and then slowly put the branches. The branches here are very saying, because there are many particulars about size and thickness, and they will be stacked together dexterously, so that the nest becomes very strong and will not wobble.

    The second layer is the weeds that the magpies pick up from all over the place, which can make the nest relatively tight, and there is mud inside, so that the whole nest is integrated. The third floor is where the magpies live, and there is a lot of fluff or some soft flocculents. The magpies will brood here, and it is very good that the baby is well cared for after birth, it is very warm, and there is plenty of food.

    When it is windy, rainy or snowy, the magpie's nest can withstand strong winds and not be blown to the ground. Because the vertical fork on the outermost layer is a triangular structure, the nest is firmly fixed to the branches. The grass in the inner layer is relatively dry, and it is tightly combined with the mud, which can play a better role in heat preservation.

    If there is a baby magpie, the mother will protect the baby magpie under her wings from the wind and rain, and the rain will flow down the hair of the big magpie to the nest, so that it will be filtered out by the weeds and will not accumulate in the nest.

    Other birds must learn from magpies so that they can build their nests better, especially the pearl-necked turtle dove. Only by grasping and building it well can the survival rate of the next generation be relatively high and let them grow up healthily.

    Yes, magpie nests are generally built on the thick branches of tall buildings or on electric towers, and there will be a particularly stable fence outside, and there will be a roof on top to prevent wind and rain, plus the magpie's feathers have oil on them.

    It is true that I am not afraid of rain and snow, because it is very hard. And it's constructed from the saliva of magpies. When the magpie's saliva solidifies, it becomes harder than diamond.

    Are magpie nests afraid of rain and snow? Why?

    The magpie nest is not afraid of rain and snow, the main reason is that the magpie is very strong when nesting.

    They will first choose a relatively stable branch as a place to build a bird's nest, and then take some large dry branches on this branch to use as the base of the magpie's nest. The choice of these branches must be dry, because the nest built in this way is warm. After building the base of the magpie's nest, the magpie couple had to bring some slightly smaller dry branches to form a magpie's outer nest, so that the basic magpie nest looked.

    Next, the magpie will look for mud and small dry branches, which will be glued together with mud. When the mud dries, it is impermeable and warm, and it is perfect for the exterior wall of a magpie's nest.

    Then, the magpie will look for something to put in the nest, which can be dog hair, some human cotton wool, and of course, more soft straw. In this way, a warm and sturdy magpie nest was born. Some people say that such a magpie nest is not wet in a rain, and this problem has long been solved by our smart magpies.

    When the magpie started to build the nest, it only built the entrance of the outer nest, the direction of this entrance is the southeast direction, so that the northwest wind can not blow into the magpie nest, and the rain can not enter, so the magpie built up is strong and warm, no wonder the magpie babies like to spend the cold winter here!

    After building the magpie nest, the magpie couple began to work together to build a bird, and the bird was born in the nest built by the magpie couple, so look at it, this nest is really warm! In order to make this nest always so warm, the magpie will also tinker with this nest every year to ensure that the nest is impermeable and always so warm.

    The magpie's nest is not simple at all, but it looks a little simple on the outside, but it is actually warm inside! What's more, magpies have a body of bright feathers, just like our human down jackets, which are also warm. So, magpies will never freeze to death.
