Warning: long post!

Nesting process of a male Golden-backed weaver (external link)

1. Carefully selects a perfect location which is near to school, supermarket and transportation
QUOTED IMAGE

2. Sets the foundation for a cozy home. He begins the intricate process of weaving the first string of its nest, which will serve as the cornerstone for a safe and snug abode.

3. Some more


QUOTED IMAGE

4. Building the perfect fit.
He constructs the first framework of its nest, starting with a carefully woven ring. The size of the ring is a key indicator of the bird's desired home size and sets the stage for the rest of the nest-building process.
QUOTED IMAGE

5.Quality assurance check!
He conducts strength tests on its nest anytime, ensuring that it's sturdy enough to withstand the weight of eggs and chicks.


6.Taking shape!
His nest is starting to take on its distinctive shape. It's amazing to see how the nest gradually transforms from a simple ring to a complex structure.


Above: It's hard to believe, but this complex nest is the result of just two hours of tireless work by the Asian golden-backed weaver.

7. Welcome to the city of weavers!

Amazing, thanks so much for sharing!
