nidification at the museum

Nidification was evident on my visit to the museum last weekend. I really adored the display of the nests and found them eliciting very creative ideas for some making in the new year. Hard to believe that this amazing year is coming to an end but it definitely is.

I love each of these nest examples and I really want to build some beautiful nests of my own very soon. I found a few fascinating videos on you tube for further inspiration. The second one is not of the best quality but I like the detailed views of the stitching , the bird and the lovely "chocolate brown" eggs. 

 

 

 

 

  I really appreciate when nature lovers share such things on the world wide web.

aww such a wonderful post ! I looooved the first video, with the little weavers' heads peeking (ok, I thought it was so adorable, I'm pityful) I need to find the book I mentionned on your Flickr stream. Thank you so much for sharing, my friend ! oxox

These nests make me think of my own nesting in for winter. Also, now that the foliage has fallen, I have been noticing so many nests about the fields and meadows and even along my own driveway (we live up into the woods a bit). All those secret hiding spots revealed! Glad you had such fun seeing all this.
