Garden Affair: Plants attracting Tailor birds in my Garden

 Lately Tailor birds had been the most visiting bird in my Garden during this  monsoon season. It is a well known fact that most birds have mainly two breeding and nesting season in  a year one is spring and another is monsoon season in our region and  thereby  Tailor bird has its peak of nesting season from June to August. 

While they are known  for their majestic skills of sewing leaves to make their nest it is interesting to know they choose long elliptical shaped leaves to make nest as they can sew them to make a deep and secured nest .

In last few years I had seen they choose some of the trees in my Garden that have long leaves such as Mango trees, Ashoka tree in my Garden for nesting.

Tailor birds mostly feed upon small insects and larva and are attracted to flowering trees such as Hibiscus to prey upon bugs.
