"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
I found this nest unaware that it was a Mistletoe Bird nest. Either way I did not want to intrude or disrupt the nesting birds so I left it be after a quick photo. I was ecstatic to discover it to be a Mistletoe Bird nest. This nest is made from matted plant down and spider web. The female alone builds the nest and incubates the eggs.

There are over 85 species of mistletoe and they are all native to Australia.Of these, at least 72 species occur in NSW.
Mistletoes are air-born flowering parasitic plants which live off the sap of their hosts and thrive in almost every type of climate and soil in Australia.They can be found everywhere except Tasmania where apparently conditions do not suit..
Energy is obtained through photosynthesis but the host plant provides mineral nutrients and water.They have evolved along with other native Australian flora and fauna resulting in complex inter-relationships with other species. No introduced mistletoes are present in Australia.
Mistletoes are mainly spread by the Mistletoe bird (Dicaeum hirundinaceum).
Coastal mistletoes tend to flower in spring and summer, but many are at their flowering peak in March.
