Some of the
natural constructions such as nests evoke a sense of warmth and coziness in us.
Nests are tree homes built with immense love and care towards the babies. We've
found a mom who seemed to be rather ingenious when making her nest.

Bianca Caroline Soares is not a stranger to hummingbirds anymore. She often
meets these birds in the jungle near her home in Paraguay. But, once during a
walk last Spring, she had seen a nest quite strange. It had been the first time
she witnessed a nest with a roof on top.

Soares had
been overjoyed by what she saw. “I saw five hummingbird nests that day, but
this was the most ingenious,” Soares shared.
This
particular nest had been the most beautiful one in the neighborhood for the
sake of the roof. Of course, it will be a great place for a new beginning.

Right from
the first sight, Soares had started visiting this cleverly built nest expecting
to have the sight of the tiny family who lives up there.
“She had
two hummingbird babies,” Soares said.
The bird
babies might have received comfort during the hot days due to their mother's
thoughtful planning.

Soares
expect this clever plan of the bird mom to inspire the humans to take care of
nature.
See how
helpful this hummingbird has been to her family. Her babies might have grown
stronger while getting an idea about the design of this new nest.

She shared
the pictures of the nest on her Instagram page to inspire people to protect the
planet:
“To date,
my favorite photograph. Too much cuteness in one photo!”
The present
count of hummingbird species of the world is around 338.
Hummingbirds
play a vital role in the better existence of the ecosystem. They are one of the
major creatures responsible for the process of pollination. Some hummingbird
species can fly up to 4,000 meters while pollinating plants that other birds
cannot reach.
They are often
prone to danger due to their small size. As a result of this danger, most of
them are considered to be endangered.
Here you
are with several tips to save the hummingbird population in your area!
·
Gardners can craft a feeder in an area with
shade. Try to hang a clean bottle or a dish filled with a sugar-water solution.
But, be careful to prevent collisions with windows. Therefore, try to keep the
feeder away from the windows. And also make sure to keep your cats away from
the hummingbirds.
·
Apart from this, there's another threat for
them. Their tiny bodies have made them easily vulnerable to chemicals such as
pesticides. So try to maintain distance between the feeders and the
insecticides and help conserve the hummingbird population.
