Rufous Hornero

  • Category: Exotic Birds
  • Expression:

The rufous hornero (Furnarius rufus) gets its name from its oven-like nest. The male and female build this sturdy nest using mud, plants, and saliva. It takes months to construct the nest, and the pair does not reuse it the following year.
