G'day all Just outside my office window is a climber which was growing too high. The gardener here chopped it back to just below window level - revealing a New Holland Honeyeater's nest with three eggs. I don't know what happened to the eggs but for the last week the birds have been busy dismantling the nest and rebuilding it in a nearby shrub. How common is it for birds to reuse nest material?
