tailorbird
Nest-sewing Asian bird
A tailorbird is a small warbler found across Asia that constructs its nest by stitching leaves together with plant fibers or spider silk, using its bill as a needle.
The bird punctures holes along leaf edges and threads material through to create a pouch for nesting: We watched a tailorbird sewing leaves in the garden.
