New Nest at my backyard - Oriole's Nest

For the past two weeks, I had observed the courtship behavior of this bird. What surprised me was that they decided to make their nest at cempedak tree (Artocarpus integer) (Jackfruit), just outside my perimeter fence during my hospitalization. Very clear view about 20feet from my bedroom. I can't resist photographing it, so I carried the camera gear (now I can feel it heavier) and shot it from the window.
Now I have two nests to observe during my MC weeks! ;)
That Common Iora inside the nest incubating. Still not hatch after 17 days since I noticed the nest.
