Amazing & ingenious - I discovered this empty bird's nest while working in my garden (in Taiping, Malaysia). A small bird had built a nest well camouflaged among the leaves and on the leaf underside so as to provide protection from Malaysia's monsoon rains. The bird had to curl the leaf, then poke holes in which to weave a thread of fine stringy vegetation such that the leaf was "sewn" into a cone. Then the bird cushioned the nest with soft grass fibers to finish the comfortable and safe nest. "Tailorbirds Family Sylviidae Genus Orthotomus Tailorbirds get their name from the nests that they make. They sew a pouch of green living leaves for their nest. First, the leaf is curled together by twisting spider web strands around it. Then the edges are joined together by making tiny holes on the edges of leaf with their pointed bills. Through the holes, they lace through fibres from bark, cottony seed fibres (e.g., kapok) or spider webs. The opposite ends of these fibres are teased into balls (not knotted together as some suggest). Some have described the method more as riveting the leaf edges rather than sewing. Mangrove and wetland wildlife at Sungei Buloh Nature Park Main features: Small, mainly olive or grey; long tail usually held cocked; bill long; legs long. Status in Singapore: 4 species are found in Singapore. Nest of a Tailorbird World distribution: India and Southeast Asia. Classification: Family Sylviidae (including Warblers and Babblers). This family is mostly found in the Old World. World 552 species, Singapore 19 species. They apparently prefer to use a single large leaf, sewing the edges of the leaf together. Otherwise, up to 3 smaller leaves may be sewn together. In the resulting pouch, Tailorbirds place grass, lined with kapok and other soft fluffy seeds (e.g., lallang grass seeds). Living leaves are stronger than dead leaves and provides a snug and waterproof home, which is also well camouflaged. Usually, it is the female that sews the nest together. 2-6 pale blue eggs are laid and both parents incubate and raise the young. Chicks fledge in about 2 weeks." www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/birds/Orthotomus.htm
