Environmental influences on nesting

Environmental influences on nesting refer to how factors like climate, availability of materials, predator presence, and habitat conditions affect where and how animals build their nests. For example, a warm, safe environment with plenty of resources encourages animals to nest nearby, while harsh weather or high predator activity may force them to choose hidden or protected sites. These factors help animals optimize the safety and success of raising their young, ensuring their offspring have the best chance to survive and thrive in their environment.
