Concept:

  • Birds build nests to lay their eggs and incubate their younger ones.
  • Different birds build nests at different places, some on ground level, some high up on the tree.
  • Different birds use different techniques and different materials to build their nests.

Explanation:

  • The dove makes its nest among the thorns of a cactus plant or a Mehendi hedge.
  • The sparrow and pigeon make their nest anywhere on top of a cupboard, behind a mirror, on a ledge.
  • The barbet or coppersmith bird makes its nest in a hole, in a tree trunk.
  • A crow’s nest is made of all kinds of things, even pieces of wire and wood. The crow builds its nest high up on a tree.
  • The tailorbird uses its sharp beak to make its nest by stitching together two leaves on a bush. It lays its eggs in the fold of the leaf that it has made.
  • The sunbird makes a nest that hangs from the branch of a small tree or a bush.
  • The robin makes its nest with soft twigs, roots, wool, hair and cotton wool at ground level alongside road, lower branches of a tree or sometimes at the top.
