From Mikael Karine Trchn
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.
If it’s cooler than the surrounding desert, I’m all in! 🥵
One other commenter sounded a bit familiar with these nests and said they had a relatively pleasant smell, which is better than I’d expect for something hundreds of birds has lived in for multiple generations, so another plus there.
Much like for the rest of us, I imagine one’s neighbor’s would have an impact on our overall experience. I wouldn’t want to be the bird living across from the hungry looking falcon that just moved in!
