The Humming bird nest that we have on our deck this year appears to be made from a papery creation. I am guessing perhaps a sugar substance and feathers and other materials. Slightly larger than a Golf ball, and looking like an English walnut it was "stuck" onto a metal plant hook for the season, until the 2 eggs hatched.
