This post is dedicated to Common Iora couple that lost their two babies two weeks ago.
I documented here how mother Iora protected her chicks from the rain and bad weather.
See how she spread her feathers fill to the brim of the nest, sealed it and protected her chicks from wet.

...and dutifully bring the food after the rain.

Lovely series. I hope they will lay new eggs soon.
Tabib...what is the whitish substance surrounding the nest? Is it some sort of tree sap?
Thanks ALL for your comments.
Keong, That white thingy is actually a spider web - collected by Iora during the nest building. It some sort of cement that glued the nest.
