Rufescent Prinia (Prinia rufescens). Tiny birds with a loud voice, very much like tailorbirds. Will also stitch leaves for a nest.

They're also a great example of complex tool-use in animals.
These tiny tailors have almost certainly been sewing for longer than humans have.
If you want to learn a bit more about these amazingly talented birds, here's the iNaturalist page for the genus:

Typical Tailorbirds (Genus Orthotomus)
Tailorbirds are small birds, most belonging to the genus Orthotomus, often placed in the Old World warbler family Sylviidae. However, recent research suggests they more likely belong in the Cisticolid...

AI, bird morphs its head repeatedly.
Not to mention this isnt what tailorbirds nor their nests look like.
Quick google clarifies how their nests actually look, theyre not sewn as shown, they moreso glued together with bits and bobs.

Wow!! Wish we had these tailorbirds here!
A tailorbird is a bird known for its remarkable ability to sew leaves together to create a nest. This process involves puncturing the edges of leaves and using plant fibers to stitch them together, creating a sturdy and camouflaged nest that protects the chicks from predators.

Ashy Tailorbird (Orthotomus ruficeps), male.
Often found in wetter habitats – mangrove, wetlands, near ex-mining pools. Like all Tailorbirds, has a wide, loud call repertoire.

Tailorbirds get their name from the way their nest is constructed. The edges of a large leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spider's web to make a cradle in which the actual grass nest is built.

More and more AI slop is fooling people and making it into my feed. Tailorbirds *are* real and they do sew leaves together to make their nest. And that, right there is amazing and worth celebrating. But this make believe animation is not a real bird, a real nest or authentic behaviour. Sad.
Stop what you’re doing right now and behold the craftsbirdship.
Outstanding.

Rufous-tailed tailorbird, I believe, setting the stage for a segment taking place in Indonesia. Like other tailorbirds, it wraps its nest in one or more large leaves, which are sewn together with plant fibers or cobwebs. #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge 🪶🧪

The camera thankfully recovered as we headed to the Crocker Range in Borneo for @bwntours.bsky.social
