I've always marvel and intrigue by their ability in nest building. Did they rely purely on instinct or acquire the skill as they grow?
These are some nests at my farm.
Nests are always built over water for safety reason, I presume.
There are a lot more on trees not far away... these birds build nest in colonies.
Charming as decorative items too..
Well, I don't spent time catching them in action. So I Googled for some nice photo shots..
This bird went great length to dress up the entrance!
Returning home with a catch in mouth - an excellent shot indeed!
Nests are build by males with strips of coconut/palm leaves and takes about 18 days.
Fresh & greenish in appearance when new. Once a mate is found the male goes on to complete the entrance tunnel.
What else? These birds (both male & female) are polygamous.. interesting eh?

Like it! Congratulation you're having doubles in your farm! You can sell that too if you want over here.
Not a bad idea if you can market them. I'm seeking ways of helping Da Da Ramakrishma to raise some funds for his technical school in Sangklaburi. That town has refugees influx lately as Myanmar troops are fighting for control across the border.
Nice!
