Different birds live in different nests.

♦ Burrow- Some birds choose burrows excavated by other animals.
♦ Cavity nest- We see that there are cavities in some trees. Birds use those cavities as their home. But some birds create their own ‘cavity.
♦ Cupped nest- Birds build a nest in traditional style. Its shape is like a bowl. The size of this nest depends upon the size of the bird.
♦ Ground nest – Some birds make a ‘leap on the ground instead of making a traditional nest. They lay their eggs in it.
♦ Mound- Some of the birds bury their eggs. Such a type of home is called a mound.
♦ Pendant- Some birds collect plant fiber and grass and create this nest. It looks like a sack. We see these nests hung on the branches of trees.
♦ Platform- Some birds build nests bigger in size. These nests are permanent, and they use these nests for many years.
♦ Scrape -This nest is very simple to build. This is a shallow depression in the soil.
♦ Sphere- Some birds collect plant fiber and grass and create this nest. This nest is also like a pendant. But this nest’s structure is circular, with only one small round hole.
