Weaverbirds in the Kalahari Desert

I just read an article in Audubon Magazine about Weaver Birds who actually build their own apartment houses in the Kalahari desert. The giant nests keep the birds cool in the heat of summer and warm in winter. In both seasons, the birds are able to use less energy and consequently are able to need less water and less food. Very interesting article and check out these HOTELS.
