I think hummers might build their nests out of
these different materials because of availability.
The materials are light -weight so they are easily
transported. Lichens may be strong and stiff to form
a support for the nest. Spider silk could be used as
an adhesive and the thistle and dandelion seeds
would be soft for the lil' babies' heads.
