Only a few nests are completed with the entrance long tube. Many nests are missing, destroyed by male weaver or most likely taken by humans. Baya Weaver nests are sold as garden and house decoration for RM 5 to 30 - like this, this, this , what a shame. There is even a restaurant that decorated with this nest, and named is "Restoren Sarang Burung" (bird nest restaurant).

He took the picture in July last year -still the breeding season (March to September -depend to locality) , so the nest must be active with chicks inside.
The four nests that Yen and I saw in May were missing.
...and exit with a fecal sac in her mouth.
So, we have to wait for fledgling to see it feeding outside the nest.
The male weaver is still helping in maintaining the nest (see that new green grass strip)
