The small hummingbird nest.

Hummingbird nests are an architectural marvel; they are made of plant fiber and bits of wood, and besides that, hummingbirds attach their nests so well to tree branches that not even the breeze damages them.

Today I started talking about hummingbirds because yesterday afternoon I noticed a hummingbird gathering materials for its nest. I looked up at the tamarind tree by my side and realized it was building a nest on one of its branches. This made my day very happy; I had discovered a hummingbird's nest.

Based on the hummingbirds I've seen over the years, I've noticed they love to build their nests in these trees. Why? Because these trees have strong branches, plenty of leaves, and good shade, which helps protect the eggs and baby hummingbirds.

Every year I have the privilege of observing several of these birds' nests, and every year I try to protect them from any animal that might harm them. Hummingbirds are beautiful and very delicate birds, so we must help them so their nests aren't destroyed.

I hope you enjoyed the story and the hummingbirds. See you next time.
