At the beginning of nesting, the magpie first piled up the bottom of the nest on the fulcrum of the 3 tree rights, and when it was spread to a considerable area, it stood on the fence along the perimeter, and later went to the fence to support the beams to further seal the top of the nest.
The magpie nest often lasts for a long time, from the beginning of the branch to the initial completion of the shape of the nest takes more than two months, plus the completion of the internal works, it takes about 4 months.
The outer branches of the magpie's nest appear to be very rough, but in fact its entire structure is very complex and delicate. From the outside, the whole magpie's nest is an upright ovate, with a large height of 80 cm and a horizontal circumference diameter of 60 cm, making it difficult for one person to hug it.
There is a round hole on the side of the nest, the caliber is just suitable for the magpie to enter and exit, the top of the nest is very thick, up to 30 cm, the branches are densely arranged, and the showers fall, and they do not leak for a long time. Inside, a thumb-thick willow beam is visible underneath, which is a sturdy support for the roof of the nest. Magpies are able to erect beams on top of their nests to protect them from wind and rain.

I don't know if you've seen the nest built by the magpie on the tree, if you see the nest built by the magpie with your own eyes, you will understand, the magpie uses dry branches to build the outside, leaving entrances and exits in the upper and lower parts, and then using soil and cow dung to repair the inside of the nest, and put in soft grass feathers and the like so that the nest is done.

They usually have to be stuck with long branches, and after putting about five or six slender branches, then put smaller ones to reinforce, and finally lay grass.

The magpie's nest may seem simple, but it is actually very sturdy

The process of nesting a magpie is as follows:
The magpie looked everywhere for dry branches, one by one, put them on them, and then went to find another. Constantly looking for and retracting small branches, intertwining and stacking one by one to build a bird's nest, the nest is a regular hexagonal bee nest, which looks more perfect, saves space and raw materials, and is strong. It is built by both male and female, woven with dead branches, and the inner wall is filled with a thick layer of soil, lined with grass blades, cotton wool, animal hair, feathers, etc., and new branches are added to the old nest every year for repair.
The regular hexagonal honeycomb looks more perfect, saves space and raw materials, and is strong.
The magpie (scientific name: pica pica) is a species of bird in the family Ornithisidae. There are a total of 10 subspecies.
The body length is 40 50 cm, the male and female plumage are similar, the head, neck, back to tail are all black, and from front to back are purple, greenish-blue, green and other luster, the wings are black and there are large white spots on the wing shoulders, the tail is far longer than the wings, wedge-shaped, the mouth, legs, and feet are pure black, the ventral surface is bounded by the chest, and the front is black and the back is white. Resident birds.
It has a variety of habitats, and it is often found in areas where humans are active, and they like to build their nests in large trees next to houses. Most of them live in pairs throughout the year, omnivorous, foraging in the wilderness and fields, preying on insects, frogs and other small animals during the breeding period, and also stealing the eggs and chicks of other birds, as well as eating melons, fruits, grains, plant seeds, etc. Each clutch lays 5 8 eggs.
Eggs are light brown, cloth brown, grayish brown spots. Female birds incubate eggs, the incubation period is about 18 days, and the nest is about 1 month.
In addition to South America, Oceania and Antarctica, it is almost all continents in the world. There are 4 subspecies in China, which are found throughout the country except grasslands and desert areas. The magpie is a symbol of good luck in China, and it has been the custom of painting magpies since ancient times.

When the magpie builds a nest, it will constantly look for and pull back the small branches, put them on the tree branches, interweave and stack them one by one, and fill the inner wall with a thick layer of soil, grass blades, cotton wool, animal hair, feathers and other items, saving space and raw materials, and is very strong. Magpie nests are usually built on tall trees such as pine, poplar, oak, elm, willow, walnut, etc. <

Magpie nests are usually built on tall trees such as pine, poplar, oak, elm, willow, walnut, etc.
This is because it takes a long time and effort for magpies to build their nests. Magpies are larger and live in one place all year round, so their nests should be strong and strong, so they mostly make their nests on tall trees or telephone poles. In general, magpies nest on taller, multi-branched branches. >>>More
There are still a few days to be Qingming, the fifth of the 24 solar terms. As the saying goes, "During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." >>>More
In terms of shape, bird's nests can be divided into bowl-shaped nests, cup-shaped nests, spherical nests, bag-shaped nests, etc. >>>More
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.
Because the magpie's nest looks intact, it is actually broken, and the magpie has this habit, so they still rebuild the nest every year.
