Early birds have worms to eat.
This proverb tells us not only that success can only be achieved by hard work, but also that there are hard-working birds and lazy birds in birds.
This is a normal bird nest, and it is also known as the bird's nest image. Not diligent, not lazy, decent.
Birds of prey eagles, their nests look very simple and boring.
The above types of apartments should be basic.
The following are finely decorated, that is, Pro models.
For example, there are about 145 species of nesting birds, and the name alone shows that they are very good at nesting. It lives mainly in Africa, Australia and South Asia. The following nests are their masterpieces.
The nest of the Kenyan grey-headed group weaves nest birds with an entrance below
Nesting birds choose beautiful materials to build, and branches, grass, feathers, and even cotton balls may be the bricks and tiles of the nest.
If the above are the small projects of the nesting birds, the following ones are big projects, which can be counted as Pro MAX.
Nest of weavers in central Namibia
They are a bunch of architectural maniacs who can't control their desire to build a house, even if the house is big enough, they must continue to build new houses.
Covered, built into a community, at this time can not be called architects, should be called real estate developers ... Up to 500 birds can be stuffed in a cell.
Nest of Malagasy weavers
But people don't have rules, there is no such thing as illegal construction, and they will never be satisfied.
It seems that they also know that the bigger the house, the better, and that a few rooms and a few halls are enough, and it takes hundreds of rooms and hundreds of halls. This is probably probably the largest single-body complex built by vertebrates on Earth besides humans.
If you look at a large bird's nest below, don't think it's a big rough room, but there are many separate rooms.
So that sometimes the nest is so big and heavy that it is possible to crush the whole tree.
In the image below, you should see that their exits are all facing downwards, which is to avoid eagle attacks and to drain rainwater that seeps into the nest.
The poles are also doomed, and these are the crops of African weavers below.
It was the illegal bird's nest that fell on the ground, and the telephone pole really carried the pressure that should not have been.
Studies have shown [1], this kind of social community, there are many rooms, roughly divided into two types of rooms, one is called the inner chamber, the other is called the outer chamber, the inner chamber is by the trunk (telephone pole) of the room, they can maintain the temperature at night, the outer chamber is the outer room, mainly used to shade and keep cool.
By measuring the temperature inside the nest in different seasons, scientists found that in the winter, even if the outside is cold to minus celsius (at night), the temperature of the inner chamber is still as high as 21 to 23 degrees Celsius; in the summer, the outside is hot enough to steam sauna, and the inside is still more than twenty degrees. It can be seen that the insulation effect of the social bird's nest is good, comparable to the air-conditioned room.
These nests are more durable than the Beijing courtyard, where flocks of weavers can sometimes live for hundreds of years.
In addition to nesting birds, there is also a species called Leipoa ocellata , and their nests are also more distinctive.
They will find a depression between eucalyptus trees and dig a depression 3 meters in diameter and 1 meter deep.
Cross-section of the nest mound of the pheasant with eye-spotted pheasants.
In late winter or early spring, they collect branches, leaves and bark to fill in a nest mound 0.6 meters above the ground. After rain, the male pheasant reverses and mixes the material, allowing it to wither.
The male pheasant will add or push out the soil into the nest as needed to ensure the right temperature to incubate the eggs.
There are also many architects among birds who have created incredible houses to live in and raise their children. These are hard-working birds.
After talking about the diligent bird, the next thing to say is the lazy bird.
The birds think "Well, okay, that's it, that's enough anyway" The front ones have basic models, Pro models, Pro Max models, these are not even the youth version, just the function machine...
Then, they caught fire a while ago, and there was a "what is the laziest bird" craze on Twitter.
Next, admire the masterpieces of the world's lazy bird architects:

I really laughed and peed when I saw this picture.
I felt that these birds (mostly pigeons, cooing), must have read the book "Broken House" and become pragmatic birds.
Cuckoos or something, simply do not even pretend, directly lay eggs in other homes, and push other children out of the nest, it is simply much more terrifying than lazy birds. I won't go into detail here.
Why is the gap between birds and birds so big?
