Birds coming and building nests in their  maangols. We always wanted these birds to come and build their nest in  our house. Also, we have always wanted these birds to shift their  location to our side. These days, two senbrangs have chosen our maangol  as the location to build their nest. Its one pleasing sight .Its very  soothing to see these birds chirping and tweeting making their presence  felt.<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0 the back of our mind, we always felt we cannot force these  birds to build their nest in our house.But,\u00a0\u00a0one fine day , they flew  over and they had a long session . From then on they\u00a0 made up their mind  to build a nest there. We thought these birds were making temporary  arrangement. It looked like they were inspecting the site.<\/p>\n<p>For a month  they tweeted, sang and played in our maangol. They have become more  \u00a0gentle than we thought them to be. They ain\u2019t terrified of us at all.  We made them so comfortable.\u00a0 So their entry into our maangol was made  easier. There is an electric wire that runs in the middle of the  maangol. These birds sit prettily there much to the delight of all of  us.<\/p>\n<p>The way they gathered\u00a0the materials was a sheer delight to see.  Noises have increased and we are fine with it. We take it as a welcome  change\u2026 Mom would like to call them born Engineers. They so meticulously  planned everything. It was just marvellous. We have seen them use as  many materials to construct their nest as they find it \u00a0available in the  environment.<\/p>\n<p>They use twigs and grasses. Mud is for cementing. Some  birds use mud solely for nest building. The lining of the nests are  composed of much softer materials and are more elegant than the outer  shells. Materials such as fine grasses, fibres, pebbles, spider webs,  plant down, and feathers grace the interiors.<\/p>\n<p>They have adorned our  house and we are \u00a0loving it\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\">Read more \/ Original news source: <a href=\"http:\/\/kanglaonline.com\/2011\/08\/the-coming-of-the-senbrangs\/\">http:\/\/kanglaonline.com\/2011\/08\/the-coming-of-the-senbrangs\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Maisnam Chanu Liklainu We always envy our neighbours.
