Yunta de palomitas en su nido. Se metian en un hueco, entre las tejas del techo y la pared, de una casa. Justo esas tejas estaban sueltas, asi que pude levantarlas para observar. Es increible por los huequitos donde se meten, parece que no entra nada, pero ellas entran. Ademas, habia que recorrer tres tejas (de 30-40cm), para llegar a la camara del nido, que muestro a continuacion. Todo el trayecto antes del nido, estaba cagado y aparentaba ser su dormidero. Muy particular su comportamiento.
