G'day
These guys decided to make a nest right outside my back door under my pagola. A welcomed guest, even though they crap everywhere and give my dog a very hard time. Last season we had doves in our pagola, this year willy wag-tails. It has been interesting documenting them as they grow and watching the tiny adults attack me and my dog like they were made of steel! tough little birds!
Anyway these are the best I could do, as I don't like to get too close as I think it stresses the parents out a fair bit -

You must have to zoom a lot for this shot to have a mother in the picture. Well done.

The nest is made almost entirely of spider web. Admittedly our back pagola has alot of spider web building up. While they were making the nest you could see them collect the web and roll it with their mouth on the wooden beams.

You'd be surprised how many can fit into that tiny little nest, especially when mum sits on top of them 
They're a regular around our house, usually in the Tibuchina tree out the front, but also under the eaves or in the paperbark out back.
The worst part is the tweeting right through the night.
We feed them mealworms and small roaches around breeding time, it's fun to watch them eat. Last year we had one that we got tame enough to eat out of the kids hands. They soon go wild again when you stop feeding them.
We had sunbirds that nested out back under the eaves last year and fledged two young. They were using the nest again this year but something got onto it and pulled it down
