  2. Bird nest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_nest

    Deep cup nest of the great reed-warbler. A bird nest is the spot in which a bird lays and incubates its eggs and raises its young. Although the term popularly refers to a specific structure made by the bird itself—such as the grassy cup nest of the American robin or Eurasian blackbird, or the elaborately woven hanging nest of the Montezuma oropendola or the village weaver—that is too ...

    The birds are best known for building massive nest mounds of decaying vegetation, which the male attends, adding or removing litter to regulate the internal heat while the eggs develop.

    Other birds often built their own nests on top of Weaver nest sites. [4] Some birds build nests in trees, some (such as eagles, vultures, and many seabirds) will build them on rocky ledges, and others nest on the ground or in burrows.

[17] Males in some species of crab will construct structures out of mud to attract mates and avoid predators.

    Sociable weavers construct permanent nests on trees and other tall objects. These nests are amongst the largest built by any bird, and are large enough to house over 100 pairs of birds, [9] containing several generations at a time. The nests are highly structured and provide birds with a more advantageous temperature relative to the outside.

  7. Bowerbird - Wikipedia

    Also, the enigmatic "maypole-builder" genus Archboldia seems to be merely a Amblyornis with unusually heavy melanin pigmentation as is often found in tropical rainforest birds. On the other hand, the "avenue-builders" also have a hypermelanic lineage, the satin bowerbird, but this seems well separable as a monotypic genus Ptilonorhynchus , as ...
