Cammie it is actually the sociable weavers nest. They often get so heavy that the trees or telephone poles fall over under the weight.

Cammie,it is a big mass of weaver bird nests!
I know what a Camelthorn tree is, but my mind just is not comprehending what the heavy mass is in the top of it! What is that!?
