Baby Tailor Birds

Tailor Bird's creativity can be seen from this nest that it has sewn with a leaf on this moneyplant vine. It is an incredible art where this bird uses its beak to sew thread, cotton and jute strings to make a nest. It is a rare find as Tailor Birds make their nests in the most inconspicuous places. This year the bird has returned to lay eggs in the nest. There are four baby birds in the nest all crouched up together. It will not be long when these four fledglings will take a flight to adulthood. I am totally amazed at the way the tailor bird has created this masterpiece with its beak. I have tried a lot but have not been able to learn how to sew and that makes me even more surprised to see this sewn nest.
