I found it this way: Bird nest design

This is the fourth design I did for my "I found it this way" Floral art demonstration at the Capilano Flower Arranging Club .

As the temperature starts to cool down here in Vancouver and we are heading into early autumn, we are all starting to spend more time indoors, we looked at nests crafted outdoors.

I used a pendant nest as my inspiration for my bird's nest design

The male birds build the nest...

... in an elongated sac shape...

... from grass and other pliable material

The nest is suspended from a branch.

it takes up to 500 trips for a bird to build a nest
