Pendulous Nest Birds Colony Stock Image

The goldcrest, fire crest, white-eyes zosteropidae, sunbird, oropendola, Baltimore oriole, bushtit and weaver birds build pendulous nests. These birds weave grass, spider webs, twigs and other plant fiber together to form the nest and neck. They line the inside nest area with down, moss and other soft materials. Some of these birds, such as the bushtit, decorate the outside of the nest with flowers and leaves. Weaver birds nest in colonies; it is common to see nests for up to 20 or 30 matedpairs hanging from the branches of a single tree.
