Post your Bird Portraits

Haha, thanks!😄
You should definitely come over for a go—these little gems really shine when the light hits just right.
But be ready to get grilled by the tropical sun and rinsed off by the daily storms—nature here doesn’t make it easy, but it’s worth it!

The diversity in the tropical rainforest is incredible. Just look at this little guy—his name says everything about his job!

Let me talk some more about the tailorbird. As its name suggests, this is a tailor with feathers—an architect of nature.

1. Time for a little home renovation—getting ready for the kids to arrive.

2. Searching for the perfect material for the nest’s mattress.

4. A closer look at the craftsmanship: the nest is made of leaves stitched together with all sorts of natural fibers. From the outside, it cleverly mimics leaves damaged by insects—nature’s perfect disguise.
