What does a magpie's nest look like?

At first, the magpie piled the nest bottom on the fulcrum of the right of three trees. When they were dispersed to a considerable area, they stood in the center and built fences around them. Later, they went to the fence to set up a beam to further cover the nest top.

Magpies often take a long time to build nests. It takes more than two months from the beginning of pruning to the initial formation of the bird's nest, and it takes about four months for all internal projects to be completed. The outer branches of the magpie's nest are criss-crossed, which looks rough, but in fact its overall structure is very complex and fine. From the outside, the whole magpie nest is an upright oval with a height of 80 cm and a transverse diameter of 60 cm, which makes it difficult for a person to hug.

There is a round hole on the side of the nest, the diameter of which is just suitable for magpies to go in and out. The top of the nest is very thick, reaching 30 cm, and the branches are densely arranged, and the showers fall for a long time. There is a thumb-thick wicker beam inside, which is a solid support for the nest top. Magpies can put beams on their nests to protect them from the wind and rain.

Magpie nests are mainly composed of dead branches, which look like a bunch of messy branches from a distance, but they are actually more delicate, spherical and covered, with dead branches on the outer layer, weeds and dirt in the middle, twigs and dirt on the inner layer, and soft substances such as hemp, fiber, grass roots, moss, animal hair and feathers on the inner layer.
