The Southern Penduline-tit (Anthoscopus minutus) is a highly cautious African bird that builds a door to its nest that can be closed when the occupant leaves it for a while; below this door it builds another which leads nowhere and in practice functions as a decoy to fool predators. Reproduction: as we have seen, the main function of birds’ nests is clearly to house the eggs, keep them warm and provide the chicks with a comfortable environment when they hatch. More
