Fecal sacs are mucous membranes that surround the feces of some species of nestling birds. They make it easier for the parents to remove fecal matter and maintain the sanitation of the nest.

A friend of mine mentioned it would be cool if blizzard added homages on maps to iconic plays like in CSGO. I tried my hand at making a concept for one representing the chandelier bastion strat from ARCHITECT during Grand Finals. (Bird nest for Ganymede and the snow globe for San Francisco)
Saw 4 baby birds in a nest, 3 were close together beaks wide open and squawking for attention. The 4th was off to the side beak closed head down..
I'm no bird expert but I'm guessing 3 females and 1 male.
TIL about the Yao tribe who calls for a specific bird species to find them bees nests, after which the tribe takes the honey and leaves the wax for the birds in a rare case of human mutualism with wild animals.

There is a bird pooping all over the Sony building with a nest in the bottom of the “S”

The red ovenbird (Furnarius rufus), the national bird of Argentina and Uruguay, collects mud and piles it on top of a tree branch while letting the sun slowly dry it. When completed, its characteristic dome-shaped nest bears a resemblance to an old-fashioned wood-fired oven, hence the bird's name.

TIL of the Magpie; a common and ferociously territorial bird that will divebomb and deliver painful pecks to the heads, necks, and faces of people that pass by their nests. This is just a part of life in Australia, necessitating countermeasures such as makeshift spikes worn on helmets.

My first bird and rodent nest to help the wildlife injured in the Australian bushfires
LPT: Brush your dog or cat outdoors in the winter so the fur you brush off them blows away in the wind. Squirrels and birds will find it and line their nests with it.
Or, in freezing weather, brush indoors but save the fur that comes off your pet in a bag and dump it in a wooded area.
Edit: Another thing I do (wildlife lover that I am) is throw berries and cherries in the woods if they get too dried out to eat. I'll walk my dogs with a baggie of past-their-prime cherries in my pocket and scatter a few every 25 meters or so. I love imagining the delight of a squirrel or chipmunk coming upon (what is for them) a luscious treat.
The black crowned crane, the national bird of Nigeria, is native to Africa south of the Sahara Desert.

A Bird Made A Nest On the Pace Clock!
[FO] FINALLY finished my sister’s Christmas gift! It’s filthy from my sweaty hands and the back looks like a bird’s nest, but this was so worth it! Pattern from Grandma Girl Designs on Etsy.
Just got the ACB spec bird nest in a quiet Coffee Shop. AMA! (Except verbally because now I’m deaf)
Had my headphones turned up high so I could listen to a lecture with poor audio quality. Subsequently I turned up my in game sounds so I could hear when trees deplete and bird’s nest drops. I have the video playing on the left side of the screen and a word document on the right as my Hardcore btw chops away in the background. Moments later...
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I jump and my headphones fly off my head while I’m trying to keep my laptop from falling off my lap. My head is absolutely ringing, feeling like someone bounced a Ruby Bolt (e) off my brain.
I’m pumping at least 180BPM. I scramble to click back to my account, expecting to see my HC dying to, I don’t know, a fucking hawk or sorts?
> A bird’s nest falls out of the tree
Everyone in the coffee shop looks at me wondering if I’m okay.
Good one Jagex
The architect bird built a nest under a sunbrella
I Cross posted this on all the bird sub Reddit because I need help. A bird husband & wife are building a nest on my porch & I have cats that like to hang out on the porch and I don’t know what to do. The cats are going to eat the birds should I destroy the nest before they’re done building it?
This guy and their partner have made a nest with two very loud hungry babies in the shrub directly in front of my bedroom window (2 feet away from where I sleep). Anyone know what kind of bird it is? Nashville, TN
A bird of some kind making a nest in The Quays, using bit of the many pieces of rubbish in there to contribute to its nest.
Where’d everyone go 😆. I left the arena for a moment and came back to this. Apparently the girls were around the corner trying to save some baby birds that fell out of the nest.
The face of utter betrayal. She presented me with a bird at the door. The same bird I had been watching build a nest all morning. I came to the birds defense with the broom, and our relationship will never be the same.
Anyone else have birds that like to mingle with their buns? Mine enjoy drinking from the bun water dish and now apparently, trying to nest in their hay 😂

Bird made a nest on our spout. It's a cup nest that's pretty neat, made with things like leaves and moss and is kinda packed together. The bird is grey with a light chest and a dark grey head. It has a thin black beak. Southeast US

There was a small nest in our balcony, this young one seems to have fallen from the nest, I don't know anything about birds, I haven't touched it yet as I don't want to hurt it. What is my best course of action?
127 played in this game and I only just discovered that if you go right in the epilogue you can cross the repaired bridge to the bird's nest
Pigeon fledgling - It's 43°c (109°F) out today. This little pidgeon left the nest today but I haven't seen him fly, he's just walking. There is a second chick still in the nest. What should I do? I put out a shallow bowl of water (there is a bird bath but I'm concerned he can't reach it). [Pic]
(Apologies for the typo)
Species: pigeon

Sex/neuter status: no

History: unknown
Clinical signs: appears to have wing feathers and tail feathers, fluffy on chest. Beak open a lot (I see birds do this in the heat?), doesn't seem to be flying and is walking in the shade
Duration: unknown
General location: Australia
The pigeon on the ground
Pigeons in the nest this morning
I am very experienced with cats and dogs but completely ignorant about birds. Is he going to be ok? Is he too small - should I return him to the nest?
Update: After a few hours the little guy managed to fly up onto the bins and then eventually over the fence and into the neighbour's garden. The mama bird came to feed the remaining chick in the nest and I saw her with the fledgling in the neighbour's garden shortly after. I think the little guy will be alright! Thanks for putting my mind at ease. I've been watching these gorgeous birds grow and was so worried about them in this horrible heat
