The female knot-tying weaverbird will refuse to mate with a male who has built a shoddy nest.

If spurned, the male must take the nest apart and completely rebuild it in order to win the affections of the female.", "Poison Dart Bird:

The only known poisonous bird, the piohuis, comes from New Guinea. These songbirds carry a poison in their skin and feathers, which discourages predators from eating them.

Scientists studying these birds often sneeze or get burning sensations in their mouth and nose.

Tissue tests from the pitohuis have revealed a powerful poison, homobatracho toxin, capable of killing a mouse within 20 minutes. This same nerve agent is found in the poison-dart frog.", "Brilliant Impressionist:

When the lyrebird has its tail erect and partly spread, it forms into the shape of a musical instrument called a lyre--a fitting shape for a bird with extraordinary skill as a mimic.

The lyrebird can reproduce the notes of more than 20 other bird songs in succession.

The lyrebird will also mimic animal and mechanical sounds such as: a horse neighing, a sheep's bleat, and a car motor and horn.", "Who Would Have Thought?

The chief export of an island in the western Pacific Ocean called Nauru is bird droppings! The product is used in the manufacture of many fertilizers.", "Fashionable and Sturdy:

The penculine titmouse of Africa builds its home in such a sturdy manner that Masai tribesmen use their nests as purses and carrying cases.", "Birds or interior decorators?

In the Australian rain forest the bower bird builds an elaborate structure -- a bower -- on the forest floor from twigs, leaves, and moss.

It then decorates the bower with colorful objects, including feathers, pebbles, berries and shells.

When a female arrives to inspect the bower, the male struts and sings. Once he has seduced her, she builds a nest nearby. He can then try to convince another female to join in his family.", "Master Taylor:

Australia's golden-headed cisticola is only three inches long and has an unusual method of nest building.

In the spring, the males gather spider webs for about a week. They first begin the nest with leaves and grass stalks that they will sew together, using their bills.

The bill works like a drill, moving at an amazing rate to drill tiny holes in the nesting material. The bird manipulates the spider web into fine strands of thread, and uses them to weave the plant materials together.", ];
