The Rufous Hornero Nesting || Engineer Bird Nesting

The Rufous Hornero, scientifically known as Furnarius rufus, is a medium-sized bird native to South America. One of the most distinctive and fascinating aspects of this bird's behavior is its nesting habits. In this video you can enjoy the construction of this bird's amazingly wonderful nest. Here's also a detailed description of the Rufous Hornero's nesting habits. So, enjoy the nesting and get knowledge about their nesting habit.
Nest Construction.
Rufous Horneros are known for building large, oven-shaped nests, which are often referred to as "hornero nests" or "ovenbird nests." These nests are constructed using clay, mud, straw, and other available materials.
The nest-building process begins with the pair selecting a suitable location, such as a tree branch, fence post, telephone pole, or even a human-made structure like a roof or eave.
The construction of the nest typically takes several weeks to complete, and both the male and female contribute to the building process. They work diligently, carrying materials in their beaks to the chosen location.
Oven-Like Structure.
The Rufous Hornero's nest has a unique and characteristic shape, resembling a clay oven or pot. It features a small entrance hole at the top, which serves as the only opening for the nest.
The shape of the nest helps regulate the temperature inside, providing insulation against external temperature fluctuations and protection from potential predators.
Thermal Regulation.
The nest's design allows the Rufous Horneros to regulate the temperature inside. During the day, when external temperatures can be scorching, the nest remains relatively cool. At night, when it can get quite chilly, the nest retains warmth.
This temperature regulation is vital for the incubation of eggs and the well-being of the chicks.
Nest Reuse.
Rufous Horneros are known to reuse their nests, repairing and refurbishing them for subsequent breeding seasons. This behavior is efficient and helps reduce the time and effort required for nest construction.
Reproduction.
After completing the nest, the female lays a clutch of eggs, typically ranging from 2 to 4 eggs. Both the male and female take turns incubating the eggs, ensuring their safety and maintaining the proper temperature.
The incubation period lasts around 16 to 18 days, after which the chicks hatch.
Parental Care.
Once the chicks hatch, both parents are actively involved in caring for them. They feed the young birds and keep a watchful eye on the nest to protect them from potential threats.
The chicks fledge, or leave the nest, after about 20 to 30 days. Even after fledging, the parents continue to care for and feed their young.
Predation Protection.
The oven-like shape and the small entrance hole of the nest provide protection against potential predators, such as snakes, birds of prey, and mammals. The design of the nest makes it difficult for predators to access the nest's interior.
Rufous Horneros are fascinating birds with remarkable nesting habits. Their ability to construct and maintain these unique nests highlights their adaptability and resourcefulness in the challenging South American environment. These nests are not only functional but also a testament to the ingenuity of nature when it comes to avian architecture.

The rufous hornero (Furnarius rufus) is a medium-sized ovenbird in the family Furnariidae. It occurs in eastern South America and is the national bird of Argentina. Also known as the red ovenbird, it is common in savannas, second-growth scrub, pastures, and agricultural land and is synanthropic. Its range includes midwestern, southeastern, and southern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northern and central Argentina, extending as far south as northern Patagonia. The species is most closely related to the crested hornero of Paraguay and Argentina. There are four accepted subspecies.

Where this bird gone to take training to build its nest ?. We all must understand that God is there . There are some specific birds constructing the nest in same pattern generation by generation. This means some human beings having knowledge to invent and discover many things in science as well as in spritual. No humanbeing can determine and control the nature. There is some superpower above us.

The different knowledges and skills that animals are born with! Unbelievable! But it seems that, marvelous as it is, this nest will still be accessible to snakes! Imagine the poor birdies that have to deal with the ugly, dreadful nature of a serpent which satanic creature even humans are so deathly scared of!

[@selvamthiagarajan8152]

Looking at the finished nest in the video, I wonder if rain water can seep in through the entrance, based on how the front wall curves inwards. I was just waiting for the the bird to seal off the lower part of the entrance a little higher to prevent water from running inside.

Such a master Architect and Engineer of gods nature. The chick's have air conditioning effect as well as warmth in cold. So so sad if such birds become extinct. It is mankind's duty to preserve forests in the interest of these lovely birds. I think this nest can even withstand an earthquake or tsunami. We have so much to learn from nature. Birds should never be caged they migrate from one continent to another and such birds being caged is very depressing.

None doubts Allah subhanwatallah is the only Creator and best Creator. We enjoying truth but people are astray and don’t know even their organs functioning into them are just temporary they even don’t have control over own organs but still they are lost and don’t try to discover real creator , I wish if they read once Quran in their life. But it’s Allah subhanwatallah who chooses people to guide them.
