00:00Ever wondered how baby birds stay dry during a downpour?

00:04Meet nature's most ingenious architects.

00:08Some birds have mastered the art of building completely waterproof nests.

00:13Take the Edible Nest Swiftlet.

00:16These incredible birds build their nests almost entirely from their own saliva.

00:20This special saliva hardens into a strong, water-resistant cement,

00:25creating a safe, dry cup for their eggs, high on a cave wall.

00:31Then there's the master weaver, the Baya weaver bird.

00:35They meticulously interlace fresh, green grasses so tightly that raindrops just slide right off.

00:43By hanging their intricate nests from the tips of branches,

00:46they ensure any water drains away immediately.

00:49But the grand prize for teamwork goes to the sociable weavers.

00:53They construct massive, communal thatched roofs over their colony.

00:59This giant apartment complex not only sheds rain, but also insulates the nests,

01:05keeping hundreds of families warm and dry through any storm.

01:09It's amazing how they use materials, weaving, and location to engineer the perfect waterproof home.
