An adult olive-backed sunbird (Nectarinia jugularis) checking on one of two young sunbirds in their nest.
The unique home was built inside a pair of briefs that was hung out to dry at an HDB apartment at Kang Ching Road in Jurong.
Flat owner Lim Tinghan, 29, a teacher, said that the eggs hatched on Monday night.
He discovered the nest about two weeks ago and decided to let it be.
He sent pictures of the nest to the Bird Ecology Study Group, a local bird study group which is part of the Nature Society.
