G'day Birders, my non-birding wife asked me a bird related question that I just
couldn't answer, so I need the help from the collective birding aus brains to
answer it.
Here it is, if peewee nests are made of mud, why don't they just wash away when
it rains? Sounds to me like a really logical question to ask, but I can't ever
remember hearing anything on why this is the case. Do they have special saliva
that makes it waterproof? Do they stand over the nest and shield it with those
disproportionately large wings that they have? I just don't know.
And while we are at it, is it just me, or are peewee nests the same colour
wherever you go, seemingly independent of the local soil colour.
Just some questions for Thursday, as the list always seems at bit dull on
Thursdays.
Cheers
Graham Turner
