The Common Tailorbird or Orthotomus sutorius is a songbird found across tropical Asia. Tailor bird , basically does a bit of sewing to make its nest, firstly the bird pokes holes through some leaves. Then , using its beak as a sewing needle, it threads vines through holes to sew the leaves together. This passerine bird is usually present in open farmland, scrub, forest edges and gardens. Tailorbirds get their name from the way their nest is constructed. The edges of a immense leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spider silk to make a cradle in which the actual nest is built. The crown of the head is chestnut. It has short rounded wings, a short tail, strong legs and a long decurved bill. The tail is typically held upright, like a wren.The common tailorbird is brightly-colored and has a long erect tail. The males and females look the same, except in the breeding season when the male grows long central tail feathers.

It's a beautiful bird! How interesting in the way it builds it's nest. Nature is interesting in all her forms. I wonder how these little birds first decided to sew their nests? We'll never know.

I love nature and the wonders we can learn from the simplicity of it...only to find that within their simplicity they can perform the most complicated tasks...
I am now following...
