Birds build nests to keep their eggs and babies safe. First, they search for a good spot, like in a tree, on the ground, or in a building. Then, they gather materials like twigs, leaves, grass, and feathers. Birds use their beaks and feet to weave or shape the nest.
Some nests are tiny, while others are big. Some birds, like robins, make nests from grass, leaves, feathers, and mud. Some birds, like penguins, build nests using rocks, moss, and feathers. Hummingbirds make tiny nests from soft materials like spider webs and hairs!
The nests keep the eggs warm and protect the baby birds after they hatch.
