- Fig 1. The bird(s) wound sticky threads around a Bougainvillea stem.
These threads appeared to be spider web. - Fig 2. The nest was located in among the Bougainvillea foliage.
Both sexes seemed to help build it. - Fig 5. The nest took several weeks to build.
It was made from strips of bark, twigs,
animal fur, and manufactured fibres. - Fig 8. The gerygones abandoned the nest soon after completion.
It may have been a decoy nest.
