What's the most peculiar place you've seen a bird make its nest? (lemm.ee)

It's Autumn in the Southern hemisphere (Spring time in the Northern hemisphere), and I get fascinated by a lamp post near me that some birds have been using as a hand-me-down for a decade now.

In an empty wasps nest hanging from a house. I even saw momma bird come feed the kids. It was really cute.

Around here we seem to be lucky with our wasps. We get a new nest every year but they never bother anyone. One year they were in the ceiling right above the entrance of an old barn we use for storage. Was fascinating and eerie hearing them crawl around and work.

We've been lucky with ours as well. We unfortunately have some sort of infestation in our house but at least they don't sting us.
