BIRD NEST, NESTER,1894 Original Antique Wood Engraving

A nest is place of refuge built to hold an animal's eggs and/or provide a place to raise their offspring. They are usually made of some organic material such as twigs, grass, and leaves; or may simply be a depression in the ground, or a hole in a tree, rock or building. Sometimes available human made materials such as string, plastic, cloth, hair, paper ect. may be used as well. Generally each species has a distinctive style of nest. Nests can be found in many different habitats. Nests are built primarily by birds, but also by mammals, fish, insects and reptiles. They may have some or all of the following zones: attachment; outer decorative layer; structural layer; lining. Some birds will build nests in trees, some (such as vultures, eagles, and many seabirds like Kittiwakes) will build them on rocky ledges, and others nest on the ground or in burrows. There are eight mutually exclusive nest shapes: Above ground On the ground Below ground cup nest dome dome and tube plate bed scrape mound burrow
