Nesting behavior
Nesting behavior refers to the instinctive actions that animals, particularly birds, engage in to build and prepare their nests for laying eggs and raising young. This behavior includes selecting a suitable location, gathering materials like twigs, leaves, and mud, and constructing a safe and comfortable environment for the offspring. Nesting is crucial for the survival of many species, as it provides protection from predators and harsh weather. Each species has unique nesting habits, influenced by their environment and biological needs, ensuring their young have the best chance of survival.
