You can see the birds’ handiwork on this acacia tree, where nests hang like ornaments. Some weaverbirds build elaborate nests that house hundreds of birds, with separate chambers for each pair, creating natural apartment complexes in the treetops.Desktop Version

More than just a spectacle, these geysers are evidence of the volcanic activity simmering beneath the surface.
