A bird has built a nest and laid eggs in the compound of the Constitutional Court in Seoul. The court has suspended refurbishment of an outdoor lounge where the nest is located.

"We have rescheduled the work to make sure that the eggs and newborn birds can grow in a calm and stable atmosphere," a court official said.

According to the court, construction workers found the nest and three eggs on June 19 while refurbishing the lounge. They found a brown-eared bulbul flying in and out the facility to do something for coming lives.

There were three eggs in the nest when it was found and two hatched recently.

"We will put the refurbishment on hold until the birds are grown enough to fly away on their own," the official said.
