Big Nest
This incredible photo likely made the photographer, and anyone who saw it initially, wonder what they were looking at. The picture captures a massive nest constructed by hundreds of birds. These birds are highly skilled at maintaining their nests, and with proper upkeep, they can last for up to 100 years. It might have looked like a giant moose head caught in power lines at first glance, but it’s actually something else entirely.
Like many other birds, their chicks are helpless when they hatch, lacking feathers and sight. Building a sturdy nest is crucial for protecting them from predators. You may have seen videos on YouTube or elsewhere showing predators attacking nests and eating the chicks or eggs. Parent birds build such robust nests to safeguard their species.
