Males Build
quote:
Many first year birds build several nests before getting one that is used, and in many bird species the males build the nests to attract the females who inspect them for suitability. You will also see birds get in and "final fit" nests with the lining material for a good snug fit. That packing on the inside can make all the difference eh?
​
Wanna get lucky? Build a good nest.
You beat me to it.
​
The weaver bird is one of those where the male builds the nest and the females inspect and choose.
​
I guess if the guy never gets it right, he never gets any, and his line ceases.
