These are some of the biggest bird nests I have come across in pictures.
They are so big that I cannot believe it.
The pictures were taken by my wife in Namibia, Africa.
I would like to see pictures of weaver birds leaving or entering the bird’s nest.
Instead of ordinary houses, these birds prefer mansions.
Understand the nest is for communal living!
I could live in one of these. With my wife. How large are these birds?
Not sure – haven’t actually saw the bird.
Wow!
🙂
How cool! They look very much like native huts!
Or is it like a tree house?
Both!
🙂
I’m here visiting in Ohio at my daughter’s home- her last name is Weaver (married James Weaver) I’ve got to see what those birds look like.
Try googling for it.
They are Social Weavers. Audubon has an article about them: http://www.audubon.org/magazine/march-april-2014/africas-social-weaverbirds-take-communal
Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing the link.
Very educational to know this. Thanks.
🙂
It looks like they live in families and all stay together. This is a huge nest.
Yeah!
Interesting share!! 😊
🙂
That is just amazing!
Thank you!
I’ll bet this led to a great increase in the number of google searches for weaver birds! I certainly searched right away, and was pleased to learn about that beautiful yellow bird with some very unusual living habits! Thanks for teaching!
Hi Marilyn, I always google whenever I need some information, it is a quick way of getting an answer.
Never seen that type of nest. Quite amazing. 🙂
Yes, they are quite amazing!
The birds are called “tisserands”, weavers in french.
Thanks for the sharing, Brieuc!
That is … big..it looks like someone took one those HUGE bales of hay we have in the Mid-West..as big as a truck..and stuck it in a tree.
That also came to my mind when I first view it.
