The sociable weaver bird of South Africa has given us a design and a lesson from nature. It constructs what is almost the world's largest bird nest. Hundreds of birds collaborate to build this compound, which contains about 100 small nests, housing approximately 100 pairs.
What’s fascinating is that this bird has learned the concept of seasonal homework. It has designed its central inner chambers for incubation (warm) while the outer edges of the nest serve as cooler rooms (a kind of marina compound!). This is reminiscent of traditional homes where receiving rooms for winter were located deeper inside (for warmth), while summer living areas were situated at the far ends of the house or facing the road and sea.

(Glory to the Creator)
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding. (Surah Al-Imran: 190)
