Nest building

Nest building is a behavior observed in many animal species, particularly birds, where they construct a secure place to lay eggs and raise their young. Nests can be made from various materials, including twigs, leaves, mud, and feathers, depending on the species and environment. This activity serves to protect eggs and chicks from predators and harsh weather, ensuring the survival of offspring. Nesting behaviors can vary widely, with some species creating elaborate structures while others may use natural cavities or simpler arrangements. Overall, nest building is a crucial part of reproductive success in many animals.
