Underground Nesting

Underground nesting refers to the behavior of some animals, like certain birds or insects, that create their nests below the surface of the ground. They dig tunnels or cavities where they lay eggs or raise their young, offering protection from predators and harsh weather. This strategy provides a safe, stable environment, often hidden from view, and can help ensure the survival of their offspring. Examples include burrowing birds like the kingfisher or insects like ants and bees that build underground colonies.
