Hard to imagine how tiny they are. What is the nest built on and how did you find it?

The other nests I have seen are no larger than a fifty cent piece, actually between a quarter and a fifty cent piece. And the eggs are smaller than a jelly bean. But when you consider the size of the bird. Not many people have seen them. I feel lucky to have seen them three times, now. These were found on the fan in our gazebo and my wife looked and thought they were dead so she took the nest down, her bad and she felt so sorry to discover they were still alive. So we left them on the ladder that she used to climb on to see them, hoping the mother would not forsake them but still continue to look after them. Sometimes one is real sad with what we do. We found them because as we were sitting in the gazebo the mother would visit the nest.
