    		The Common Tailorbird, Orthotomus sutorius, is an Old World warbler.

    Tailorbirds get their name from the way their nest is constructed. The edges of a large leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spiders web to make a cradle in which the actual grass nest is built. Common Tailorbird builds its nest in a shrub and lays 3-5 eggs. (Wikipedia)

    13i71 is also correct about the ants and some weaver birds do make a similar nest.
