Comment on An update on our comfy little nest… by mprice

No, the fiber-like strands are not man-made. They do not seem to be grass either. One idea was they it came off a palm tree. You should come visit and give the class your thoughts on it. I can’t wait to read what the final count is! Ms. Price

There is so much to learn! I did read that birds may make over 500 trips to gather materials to build a nest. I also wondered how long it took; it varies, of course, according to type of bird, weather, time of year, and complexity of the type of nest. Another site I looked at told me that “passerines” will build nests within a few days while raptors make take several weeks to build their nests.

In my research on the European Robin, I learned that it is considered a “passerine”. (I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the term.) I read online that this little robin, very common and beloved in the UK, used to be considered of the thrush family but now is classified as an Old World flycatcher. I also read that the female of this species makes the nest by herself… but, in all fairness, it said that the male takes care of the fledglings once the female is starting to prepare for the next batch of eggs!
