Flirting Feathers - Home Sweet Home
A Southern Masked Weaver inspects a nest build by the "proposing" male hanging on the outside. Should she not accept the nest quality and size, she will simply move on to the next nest. On average, one can easily find around 50 nests in a single tree. Should she decline, the male will feel so bad that he will half-way destroy his own nest and start over again. Humor in Nature.
