This is the name of a bird-tailor deserves. When it comes time to breeding, bird-tailor makes a nest. With a beak and claws brings the ends of leaves, puts them one to another, and by piercing beak holes, stitches them thread made of cotton or vegetable fluff. Fluffed up the thread end, it impregnates it with help own saliva, which sticks firmly to the sheet. Such sutures bird-tailor sometimes makes about ten, strong stitching together two sheets.
