Northeast's unique avifauna and their amazing nests

Gould's Sunbird constructs its nest using moss, spider webs, and plant fibers, often camouflaging it with lichens. These nests are typically built on the outer branches of trees, blending seamlessly with the surrounding foliage.

This bird builds a large, spherical nest suspended from the tip of a horizontal branch in the forest canopy. The nest is constructed from moss, plant fibers, and spider webs, and it often hangs over rivers or streams.

Chestnut-headed Tesias build their nests on the ground, hidden among thick undergrowth. The nest is a cup-shaped structure made from leaves, grass, and other plant materials, providing excellent camouflage.

Maroon Orioles are known for their unique hanging nests made from fine grasses, plant fibers, and spider webs. These nests are often suspended from the slender branches of tall trees, swaying gently in the breeze.

Wreathed Hornbills nest in natural tree hollows, typically in large, old-growth trees. The female seals herself inside the nest cavity using her own droppings and regurgitated food, leaving only a small slit for ventilation.
