Tagwati is a bird in the Asiatic countries found in places from India to the Philippines. Its bill is long ang straight. The graduated tail of the male is longer in summer than in winter. Plumage is usually dull gray, or green above, with rufous crown and whitish or yellowish breast. The Tagwati is of special interest for its remarkable nest is made from growing leaves stitched together with vegetable fiber. Using its bill as needle, the female passes the fiber back and forth, knotting the ends until a purse-like structure is formed. Within this structure, a nest is built of plants, down, hair and fine grass.
