The Arizona cactus wren [Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus] looks upon the jumping cactus [Opuntia fulgida] as a preferred nest building site. The cactus has fiercely sharp thorns that easily are embedded in the flesh of predators. So the female and male cactus wren don't have to worry about building their nests too far off the ground in the presence of such a ferocious plant. The nearness to the ground makes it easy for them and their young to feed off of ground dwelling insects, seeds, and small frogs and lizards.
