Birds Nest Question

I saw this in a programme I was Watching last night. So I thought I'd ask the Question

Which Birds build the biggest nest in the World ?

There's a clue in the way the question is worded
WS

Nope
WS

Okay as a first guess as it's very large bird what about the ostrich?

Lai

Nope ,and I did'nt say it was a very large Bird. Read the question very carefully, as I said there's a clue in the way it's worded
WS

Oh ok - BIRDS and biggest nest I'm away to think WS.

Lai

Your on the right track now Guys
WS

I am itching to Easysearch it (please note SM and Littlewid) but have resisted the temptation so far, but I admit I haven't come up with anything myself

Lai

That might not be a bad idea Lai, and Doogs. I tried it, and it did;nt find the answer. Ok another clue, these are really very friendly Birds, and they only live in one area of a Continent, thats warm. I have to be honest, if I had'nt seen the programme I would'nt have got it either
WS

Ooooooooooooooo I know this I saw the same programme WS, there are birds that build single nests and then a breed of them that build togehter and sometimes other birds share the nest. I want to say Weaver bird but i think thats the wrong ones but I know who they are and im typing this so fast cos i'm excited ( yes I now, littlewids off on one......a mission that is....and making a twit of herself ). Ooooooo I wished I could just remember who they were, it was in the Steve Leonard programme wasn't it WS........now tell me i'm wrong

littlewid-x-

OK Your Wrong
WS

But was it from that programme WS?????? If so I will keep trying to remember who they were.

littlewid-x-

I know it was LW, but you said Tell me I'm wrong, so I did. You know I like to please , and your very close. You have got part of the name
WS

You are a jester WS now i've got to stay up till I get it right

littlewid-x-

OK, I now have brain ache, I have been trying to recap the programme and I remember Steve saying they were as common as our Sparrow, so is it a Sparrow weaver Bird, they are more social than the single weaver bird.......OK, wrong again I suppose WS but it is getting late for the brain

littlewid-x-

Ooooooo LW You've just put part of the First name, in your post, but its not Sparrow. you already had the second name
WS

I'm now adding social weaver to the mix with the clues.......covering all bases

littlewid-x-

Well done LW. Thats close enough I'll give you that. It's The Sociable Weaver.
You can now go to bed, and rest easy.
WS

I'm getting nearly as clever as Lai........well, a fraction cleverer than I was and.......I can go to bed now

littlewid-x-

You better had LW, or your Mums going to be telling me off for keeping you up late, and it's a long time since some Girls Mum's told me that, just ask Mrs S
Hard luck Lai, and Doogs, but it was a real toughy, and I think the only way you'd have got it is by seeing the programe.
WS

Well done Littlewid - that's brilliant of you. I didn't see the programme so am not sure if I would ever have got it without a little internet help we've seen other weaver birds in Kenya so I've just looked them up and see they live in SA and Namibia.

Good to learn something new WS - thanks for that :study:

Lai

What a great clip Doogs - thanks for posting, I've never seen such a large nest!

Lai

That was an amazing clip Doogs and the first nest they showed was much bigger than the one on the programme the other night but the second was about the size they showed. So lovely to see the weavers in the nest too. Thanks a lot
