The 3 Coolest Things Built By Birds

The video explores the fascinating nesting and mating structures of various bird species. Sociable Weavers in the Kalahari Desert build large communal nests that maintain stable temperatures and deter predators. Montezuma Oropendolas in Central America create pendulous nests to protect against monkeys and insects. Bowerbirds in New Guinea and Australia construct elaborate Bowers to attract mates, using decorations and optical illusions. These examples highlight the ingenuity and adaptability of birds in their natural habitats.
