Altamira oriole building a nest hanging from the branch of a tree. One of the most amazing constructor of bird nests, the Altamira oriole builds a beautifully delicate wiry nest. It consists of a very long pouch which is suspended from a horizontal branch. Woven from grass, palm fibres, moss, strips of bark and then lined meticulously with plant down, hair and feathers. Their nests are believed to take several weeks to construct.
