Pendulous Nests. Pendulous nests usually have a round or oval nest area with a neck that suspends from the tip of a branch. The neck of a pendulous nest varies in length and width depending on the bird. Different birds create entrance holes in different areas of nest.
Some of them are so successful at hiding their nests that even the all-seeing eyes of man has hardly ever looked on them - birds like hummingbirds and manakins, for example. One secretive nester, the marbled murrelet, locates its nest high in the canopy of ancient Douglas firs over 300 years old.
