The small hummingbird nest.

in CCC24 days ago

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.

I have many trees and an overdose of birds and where do you think they prefer the nest? Inside the buildings!

What mischievous little birds! Instead of building their nests in trees, they build them where they think they're safe. Maybe that's why they did it. I hope they stop; if they'd been in the window or the shed, it would have been a different story. You could even help them since they're so cute. Thanks for your comment. See you later.

Today I'm going to write a post about a bird's nest I found on the roof of a shed, which I've been looking after for four days. That's why I said that if the birds had nested in a window or a shed, it would have been different, it would have been better. I know they're just looking for a place to nest, but if they do it inside the house, it's annoying. Their feathers and droppings can ruin important things. They're very beautiful and we should always take care of them, but it's better if they nest in trees. Have a good day, friend.
