This bird nest takes years to build welcome back Charlie here birds have no hands but despite this
they still build amazingly intricate nests here are the most massive complicated and expensive
nests in the animal world first we have to look at the weaver bird nest during mating season
the weaver bird has to build this amazing Nest they do this to attract a female mate and it's
no wonder why female Weaver birds are so impressed these nests are super complicated to build and it
also takes absolutely ages they begin building in August and end in February that's a total of six
months of building the nest begins with the weaver bird making a ball out of grass he does this by
tying Blades of cross in knots he then creates a circular Nest weaving grass twigs and leaves into
it doing all of this with his beak and feet after months of work he'll end up with a ball-shaped
nest which is hopefully good enough for him to find a weaver bird girlfriend Weaver birds have
very sharp beaks which is what allows him to cut the materials needed to make the nest the Weaver
Bird's feet are also very skilled at tying knots making Weaver Birds one of the most intelligent
animals in the world their nests are 100 waterproof that's better than some houses they're
also built well enough to survive powerful storms next we have to look at the edible Nest swifflet
Nest as the name suggests this Nest can be eaten not only by birds birds by us humans too these are
commonly found on the Andaman Islands near India these tiny 12 centimeter Burns weigh only 18 grams
they live in Limestone caves they choose to build their nests inside these caves mainly because they
prey to so many animals that's because of their tiny size inside these caves they build edible
nests the nests are made from the birds solidified saliva now that may sound pretty nasty but there
are luxury delicacy in Indonesia Malaysia China and Hong Kong edible Nest swiftlet nests are also
the most expensive nests in the world they're priced at four thousand dollars per kilogram
making them a very expensive food to eat sadly humans have destroyed many of these nests to eat
leading to this bird becoming endangered it turns out the edible Nest swifflet's biggest predator
is humans next let's look at the sociable Weaver sociable Weavers are the only Birds who maintain
their nests all year round their nests can be small fitting only 10 birds or be gigantic and
fit over 500 they build these nests at very tall Heights some of their nests are so big they look
like Haystacks in trees but here's what's really cool about their nests the sociable Weaver does
all of the work and then other birds get to enjoy the nests too they are Community nests meaning
many types of birds can live in them together sometimes wasps also live in these nests these
nests also last for a very long time sometimes many generations of one bird family will live in
one sociable Weaver Nest next let's look at the Taylor bird's nest they get their name because
they sow their nests like a tailor they use leaves in Grass to sow their nests they also use plant
fibers and spiderwebs the nests are sometimes built inside leaves making them very hard to
spot they're normally found in Southeast Asia and are also found in Sri Lanka India Pakistan and
Nepal next let's look at the oven bird this bird gets its name from its nests the oven bird's nest
looks like an old cooking pot its thick round and very strong it's made mainly from clay and takes
six weeks to build they sometimes build this nests in urban areas and today I actually prefer using
man-made materials next we have to look at the ruby-throated hummingbird nest the ruby-throated
hummingbird nest is built entirely by the female the male doesn't do any work and basically just
chills out the male ruby-throated hummingbird doesn't even raise the chicks once they're born
basically a bird version of a deadbeat dad but the female ruby-throated hummingbirds spends
seven hours a day for seven days building this nest and she has to do so while pregnant The
Nest is mainly made from moss and lichen cotton fibers and spiderwebs are also used as well as
bug leaves feathers and fur basically anything the ruby-throated hummingbird can get her hands
on once it's done the nest looks amazing it's designed to protect her eggs making sure they
never tip over no matter how strong the winds are it's safe to say the female ruby-throated
hummingbird is a genius bird next let's look at the hammer cop Nest Hammer comps are normally
found in Marley their nests are amazing and built by both the male and female hammocker
they communicate during the building to make sure the nest fits their requirements their nests are
so big a human could live inside them a pair of hammer cops May build up to five of these nests
per year they live in them for short periods of time and sometimes a return to and renovate old
nests basically building a bird real estate Empire the nests have an entrance hole to get
in and out Hammer cops are very mysterious birds with hammer-shaped heads but they're considered
very bad luck seeing one of these is associated with lightning illness and even death so you
might not want to go too near to a hammer Corp Nest next let's look at the bald eagle nest bald
eagles are massive and impressive Burns so it's no surprise that their nests are too in fact the
biggest nest in the world was built by a bald eagle it was found in Florida USA it measured
2.9 meters wide and 6 meters deep it also weighed over two tons researchers said it's amazing the
tree didn't collapse under the massive weight of the nest the male and female bald eagle built the
nest together Gathering materials and arranging them together bald eagles sometimes use the same
nest for many years gradually adding more and more to the nest making it even bigger bald
eagles also include moths as an insect repellent proving that bald eagles are not only powerful
but very intelligent too finally let's look at the European bee eater Nest these tiny colorful birds
build their nests inside sandbanks normally near rivers and Shores they create a very long tunnel
and lay their eggs inside they also live in this long tunnel they mainly eat insects especially
bees then are mainly found in southern Europe and Northern Africa usually they build their nests in
big packs creating hundreds of these small holes in sandbanks although they're called European bee
eaters these birds can be found in many places including South and Central Europe northern and
southern Africa and Western Asia these birds are monogamous meaning they only have one partner
building and maintaining the nest as a team they have incredibly sharp beaks and Claws this really
helps them when it comes to eating beans as well as digging holes in sandbanks European bee eaters
normally live for six years and in this time make many nests but now it's time for you to
make your voice heard comment below which Nest was the most amazing I've been Charlie thanks
