Brian, I noticed a video in a Facebook group the other day that showed a male (misidentified on Mother’s Day) engaged in nest-building.

This is pretty entertaining, they often have to pull pretty aggressively to free them. Iʻve never seen a male doing this, but not knowledgeable enough whether the males ever join in this task or not? Personally Iʻve only ever seen the females doing this.
