How to Make this Amazing Nest - Baya weaver

At my childhood huge number of hanging bird nests were found at the countryside of Bangladesh. These nests were found mainly on palm tree or coconut tree. This is the best Architectural example of the bird nest and the Baya weaver is the best Architect in Nature. I think this is the strongest bird nest around us.

The Baya weaver nest will catch your maximum attention if you study. Baya weaver nests are exclusively built by the males and then displayed to the females. Recently I spent some time to study the type and stage of the nest, the weaving process of the nest by the birds and now I realize those moments were really worthy. It was really an excellent experience to observe the phases of the nest. The male bird make the nest up to the Helmet phase and then attract the females with chwit--chwit song and dancing as an acrobat of Olympic games.

The visiting females get attracted with the song and acrobatic display of the male. Then the visiting female inspect the nest and test its strength, safety and convenience for her egg laying and hatching. The female doesn't take part in nest making but helps in finalize the nest and gives the finishing touch. Females mainly work on interior decoration of the nest.

They make new nests every year to avoid parasite attack. Sometimes they use old nests due to scarcity of nesting materials. They prefer palm tree for for nesting due to tree height and dome shaped structures protect the nest from rains and extreme sunlight. Both male and female take part in incubation and baby caring.

I wish all the birds around us be fine and fly in the sky with joy and happiness. If the birds stay fine we will also the same.
