Hi Hive Lovers
I was really excited to find two wild bird's nests when, a few days ago, I visited my durian garden, which was fruiting and waiting for the harvest.
I found both nests in the bushes, and each nest had two eggs in it. I apologize to all of you because I could not find the birds that owned the two nests. So I can't show the furry animal here. I just took a few photos of the nest that contains these beautiful eggs.
I really took great care to photograph the two nests. I have learned the lesson that one should not touch the nest or the bird's eggs contained therein because the mother birds will "throw away" their nest and eggs.
Often, birds will leave their nest, eggs, or babies if someone touches them and leaves their "trail" there. My guess is that the tracks a person leaves are usually smells or other things that can interfere with a bird's comfort or sense of ownership of their nest, eggs, or babies.
So I've been very careful not to touch the nests; I just pointed my cell phone camera at the nest and the eggs. I have managed not to touch anything in there.
Nest 1
In the first nest, you can see that the owner of the nest made it very neat, with the shape of the nest being round and having a wide open surface. It seems that the size of the bird that owns this nest is rather large and has good architectural skills.
The nest has a thick, knitted lining made from selected materials. I judged that this nest would provide a high level of comfort for the two eggs that would become the baby birds.
The eggs in this first nest are round, slightly oval, and tapered in shape. These eggs also have a beautiful color: white with irregular red spots all over their surface.
Nest 2
In the second nest, you can see that the owner of the nest made it carelessly. The nest has no clear shape and is untidy. I almost couldn't find the entrance there; apparently there is an entrance, and it doesn't deserve to be called a door. It seems that the bird that owns this nest is small and has poor architectural abilities.
The nest has a knitted lining that is not patterned or irregular. It looks like it's made from scratch and doesn't take selected ingredients to make it. I assumed that if the eggs had hatched, the baby birds wouldn't be comfortable living there.
The eggs in this first nest are round in shape, but they have a very pretty color. The blue eggs were so pretty to me; they looked like they had been dyed with that blue paint. The egg beauties were perfected with irregular red spots all over their surface.
I am really curious about the birds that own the two nests. I have looked all over my durian garden; who actually owns these nests? It was like they were watching me at the time, not me watching them.
I will be back to see the nests in a few days. Of course, I will not catch them; I will let them fly freely and live in their native ecosystem naturally.
If I'm lucky, then when I come back, I will satisfy my curiosity by finding baby birds that are as beautiful as their parents.
What will they look like in the future?
