Hello friends, I’m sharing with you this photo of a barn owl that I received from a friend who lives in the desert of southern Africa. Have a great day.
Coucou les amis je vous partage cette photo d une chouette effraie reçu d une amie qui est dans le desert du sud de I Afrique. Passez une chouette journée.
I believe this is a nest made by the Sociable Weaver. These nests are large enough to hold over 100 pairs of weavers, making them possibly the largest bird-made structures.
I always wonder how this stuff is passed on. Things like this, or the megapodes or crocodilians that need to keep eggs at precise temps, I have no idea either how they would ever figure it out, determine that there is causality, and then pass it on.
Evolution is fun like that, I wonder what the other variations were like before the evolved this particular way
Exactly! There’s still a huge difference between a bunch of nests next to each other and this.
The more cool facts I kept reading about the nests, I started picturing it as the bird version of a Dyson Sphere. 😆
I’d watch a movie with that premise 😄
