A hummingbird's nest is about half the size of a golf
ball, but one of its most striking features is that as the babies
grow, the nest expands automatically. This is because the
parent hummers weave together tree bark, moss and plant
stems with very strong, pliable spiders' webs. How can
these tiny birds know to choose such an ideally useful ma-
terial for the construction of their nests? Like every creature
on Earth, hummingbirds act by Allah's inspiration and, with
this intelligence and foresight given by Allah, are able to
make their babies comfortable.
