Sewing birds are also called "Lingque" and "Panque". Mongolians call it "Wuren Bali Bamboo Sea", which means a bird with good sewing skills and dexterity. Slightly smaller than a sparrow, with yellow feathers and a black circle around its neck, it sings euphemistically.

Sewing birds of Africa and China

Malachin's African "Sewing Birds" use grass as nesting materials, while China's "Sewing Birds"-Lingque use ponytails and animal hair as nesting materials. Compared with the two, the nesting skill of the latter is higher than the former, and the nesting difficulty is also greater than the former.

Living habits

Every spring, sewing birds are working hard. They are busy building nests. Faint river banks, silent forests and inaccessible alpine grasslands are all their ideal homes. When they build nests, they use local materials. First, they chose a long ponytail, wrapped it around the tree with their mouths, tied it tightly, took wool, cow hair and horse hair, and began to sew and knit. They also take water from their mouths, sprinkle it on it and trample it with their claws until it becomes solid. Lingfinch nests mainly by its dexterous beak, and then by its claws. It takes a long time to build a nest, and the hardships can be imagined.

Sewing the nest

The nest woven by sewing birds is like a gourd with a handle and small boots on the feet of Mongolian babies. From a distance, it looks like a delicate little lantern hanging in the depths of the shade.

The nest woven by sewing birds is about five inches long and has a small mouth, which is located on the handle of the gourd. Because it is hung in the air with a strong ponytail, the "gourd handle" where the nest mouth is located bends and stretches horizontally, cleverly sheltering from the rain. Nests sewn with animal hair can also keep warm from the cold. In addition, the nest hanging in the air makes the poisonous snake drool at the bird, and the young bird is helpless.

In the sewn nest, there are many long brown hairs wrapped around the legs and claws of the chicks, so that the birds can't climb out of the nest. Even if the strong wind blows the nest over 180 degrees, the chicks are safe and sound.

Sometimes Mongolian herders on the grassland occasionally collect nests abandoned by Lingque and take them home for adults and children to enjoy. Because it is made of animal hair, according to its shape, it is simply processed with scissors to make a pair of small and strange felt boots for toddlers to wear.

Sewing bird's nest is really the essence of bird's nest.
