Hello Ted –

Exactly! It would make a pretty fun activity to try to build one like that. We can just imagine a bunch of people sitting in a circle with grass and fur in front of them, trying to assemble nests with their mouths! It really gets you to take a closer look at birds’ craftsbirdship. =)

The most amazing thing is not only that they make nests, but that they do it without any hands!

Don’t just try building a nest, try doing it by holding everything with your mouth

Hi Kathleen,

It was really fun to take it apart and see how skillfully it was built =) We’ve visited your blog and added you to our ‘Awesome Nature Blogs’ blogroll — those pictures of the birds are fabulous! The heron is one of our favorite birds, and it was incredible to see such a close-up. We also visited your profile and laughed at the similarities — ‘No horror movies’, John Denver . . .

Thanks for stopping by, and we’ll be excited to learn about your meeting with Jane Goodall!

WOW! What an interesting disection! Add mud, moss , grass, wild cucumber and phoebes and you get a miracle.
