Once they leave the nest, chicks follow their parents to the nearest water. Bonaparte's gulls begin breeding at two years of age; they are thought to be monogamous. [15] The breeding season begins in mid-June. [24] Courting pairs perform swooping display flights, calling loudly and diving at each other, and then drop down to perch on a branch.
Should a bird's nest appear before you on the way, on any tree or on the earth, chicks or eggs, and the mother resting on the chicks or the eggs: You shall not take the mother with the offspring. You shall send away the mother, and take the offspring for yourself, so that it be good for you, and your days be long.

Village weavers nest in colonies and are very active during the breeding season. Birds fly in and leave again constantly, making significant noise. Colonies can contain as many as 150 nests, but eight to a hundred nests in a single tree are usual. [10] A village weaver's nest is 14–17 cm (5.5–6.7 in) long and 11–13 cm (4.3–5.1 in) high.
It was found that nests close to cuckoo perches were most vulnerable: multiple parasitised nests were closest to the vantage points, and unparasitised nests were farthest away. Nearly all the nests "in close vicinity" to the vantage points were parasitised. More visible nests were more likely to be selected by the common cuckoos.
Nesting season is in full swing as well. Hopefully our cliff swallows will be thriving along with many other nesting birds. Enjoy this wonderful time of the year and make time for the birds in ...
Some avocets do not line their nests at all. [8] During the breeding season, avocets lay around 3–5 eggs, with 4 being the most common number. [14] One case study of the 1968 and 1969 breeding seasons suggests that this number allows for the highest rate of hatching success. [15] They incubate them over a period of 23–25 days.
The nests were destroyed during renovation of the building in October 2010. Within 4 days, the birds started to rebuild the nests and they completed the colony within 4 months. Every year, despite destruction of their nests during cleaning of the building, the flock returned to the same site and rebuilt the nesting colony.
