Spring is slowly creeping into the Pacific Northwest, which means it's time for nest building! I've seen the fully-made nests of taveta golden weaver birds before, but had never gotten to watch the process of construction. The males in this colony-living species weave plant matter into complex hanging nests, and the quality of their weaving skills is what wins over the females!

For mid-February, the guy in the video sure had gotten a jump start on the process.

Everyone else's nests in the aviary looked more like this:

May 15, 2024 - Yellow-mantled Weaver (Ploceus tricolor) Found across parts of western and central Africa, these weavers live in forests, especially near rivers or swamps. They eat mostly insects, along with small fruits and berries, picking food items from twigs, capturing insects in short flights, and spiraling up tree trunks like woodpeckers. Breeding in colonies, they weave round nests with wide entrance tunnels from rootlets, vine tendrils, fibers, and soft plant materials hung from the ends of thin branches. Females lay clutches of two eggs.

He had his father’s directions to Gusu, but the journey was longer than he thought. He had gotten lost again and again, guided back by the weasel spirits Wen Qing and Wen Ning, had been given spiritual gifts from the tree spirit Xiao Xingchen, had been given food by the eager wolf-dog Jin Ling.

But when he arrived in the mountains, Lan Sizhui realized all that meant nothing, as he did not know how to reach the city in the clouds. He did not have Lan Wangji’s ability to summon clouds nor would Bichen respond to him the way it had to his mother. Helpless, he found himself staring longingly into the sky.

A great gust of wings and Wei Wuxian landed beside him in a whirlwind of black and white and scarlet. “Uncle! You followed me,” Lan Sizhui said in surprise.

The crane bent his long neck to look into the boy’s eyes. “Did you think I would not? I hatched alongside your father’s river, have guarded it and him, and cherish him like a brother. Do not think I would not protect his son when he is unable to.”

Lan Sizhui felt like a little boy again, taking his first steps with his hand fisted in his uncle’s feathers, wobbly and uncertain, and felt that all over again. Relying on Wei Wuxian’s strength to keep himself moving forward.

Lan Sizhui returned his face to the billowing, gold-touched clouds high above. Somewhere hidden in them was the great city his mother had left to see the world below, and had returned to a captive. “I have been given aid to get here, and gifts, but all of it would be for nothing if I cannot sprout wings.”

Wei Wuxian clacked his beak in thought.

“I will take you,” he decided. “It was I who first urged your mother to leave the Cloud Recesses to visit the world below, despite her being forbidden from doing so. Never before have I cherished the consequences of my actions so dearly.” The crane touched his scarlet forehead against Lan Sizhui’s.

The boy gripped Bichen tightly, steeling himself. His mother was waiting. “Very well. I do not know what waits for me above, but at least I have a fierce protector in you, Uncle.”

“Always.”

Gripping his shoulders securely, Wei Wuxian carried him into the sky. And with every great wingbeat, Lan Sizhui could feel himself grow closer to his mother, her presence like a bright beacon.
