Also known as nests, drey, animal nest

A nest is a structure built by certain animals to hold their eggs or young. Although nests are most closely associated with birds, members of all classes of vertebrates and some invertebrates construct nests. They may be composed of organic material such as twigs, grass, and leaves, or may be a simple depression in the ground, or a hole in a rock, tree, or building. Human-made materials, such as string, plastic, cloth, or paper, may also be used. Nests can be found in all types of habitat.

AI overview

While people often think of bird nests, many other animals including other vertebrates and some invertebrates also build nests, which can range from simple ground depressions to holes in trees or buildings and are found in nearly every type of habitat.

Um ninho é uma estrutura construída pelas aves e alguns outros animais para ali porem os ovos e fornecerem protecção aos recém-nascidos. Os ninhos das aves são em geral construídos com pequenos ramos, ervas ou outros materiais, muitas vezes "atapetados" com penas macias do seu próprio corpo. O ninho do joão-de-barro é dentro da 'casa' de barro que ele constrói. A maioria das aves constrói os ninhos nas árvores ou arbustos, mas outras como as águias e muitas aves aquáticas constroem-nos em zonas rochosas. Cada espécie tem um padrão distinto para os seus ninhos. Muitos peixes, principalmente de água doce, constroem também ninhos, cavando o fundo do rio ou lago e guarnecendo-o com pequenas pedras.
