<p>We might have sewing machines now but most of us still go for handicraft and needlework when it comes to grace and elegance. A hand working tirelessly day and night to create intricate threadwork is nothing short of magical.</p>

<p>Not all birds need straws and twigs to build a nest, and the <strong>tailorbird</strong> is a shining example of this lot. Named as aptly and could have been, the tailor bird is an expert when it comes to sewing nests. These birds use fresh green leaves to give their nests some structure. The thread? Think spider web and plant fibre!</p>
