RM2AGHN27–Ornithology: Breeding and Nests: The Eurasian golden oriole (Oriolus oriolus) or simply golden oriole, is the only member of the oriole family of passerine birds breeding in Northern Hemisphere temperate regions. It is a summer migrant in Europe and western Asia and spends the winter season in central and southern Africa. Their nest is placed high in a tree towards the edge of the crown. The deep cup-shaped nest, suspended below a horizontal fork of thin branches is built by the female and held in place by plant fibres and lined with fine grass, feathers and wool.
RM2AGJ3HA–Ornithology: Breeding and Nests: The sparkling-tailed woodstar (Tilmatura dupontii), aka the sparkling-tailed hummingbird, is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae found in Central America. Females tend to nest in the same location, especially if previously successful, nesting in the same tree or bush year after year. The nest is usually on a horizontal limb, occasionally in herbaceous plants, often over or near a stream and composed of lichen, leaves, shredded bark, plant fibers, lined with plant down from the undersides of leaves or spider's silk.

The Eock Dove's nest is made up of small sticks or heather, or dried seaweed, and is lined with dried grass; the situation selected is any little ledge or cleft within the sheltering bosom of a rocky cavern. The eggs are two in number, generally pro- ducing male and female birds. The time for commencing their nesting seems rather variable; this year I found some young ones already hatched on the 2nd of April, while other pairs were only erecting their nests. They have several broods in the year, and their eggs may be found unhatched as late
