Sunbird’s nest in a jasmine climber, Bangalore, India

Sunbird's nest in bangalore, india

This nest was hanging at my eye level in a chameli jasmine climber at Krishna Kuteer, Sri Sri Panchakarma, The Art of Living International Center, Bangalore, India.

A shiny, black sunbird catered to its young ones in this nest. The nest was decorated with jasmine blooms from the climber itself! It hung from a delicate twig.

I was surprised by the birds’ choice of such an open place, a courtyard where people walked in and out all day! The birds’ music was part of the feel of the place – happy, comfortable, caring.
