So I came back to a half dead garden and, to my delight, a new sunbird nest! Yes, the sunbirds have returned and are rebuilding the former nest. So it is a true, they do recycle nests!
My concern is that my aircond compressor is right above the nest and may scare away the birds. Does that mean I do without the aircond for a while 🤭😵🤪
PS: Turned the aircond on. Birb didn't seem fazed by it. Yipee
Sunbirds are back to my #balconynest two days in a row! This one seems to be deeply pondering at the old nest, which was made around the same time last year by another pair of Sunbirds. Do you think they will rebuild or salvage the nest for another location?
My question is how do they know the nest is here? Are these the babies that flew off the nest and came back cos they remember where it was?
Towards the end of last year, I got to watch a pair of sunbird build a nest and then raise two chicks. I decided to capture my live toots in a blog post to keep the memories forever 🥰
