Bookroo's summary
Explore the fascinating world of bird architecture, where twigs, feathers, and even dollar bills become homes. From colossal nests housing hundreds to tiny sanctuaries for a single egg, uncover the mysteries of avian construction.
From the publisher
How does a bird make its nest? Very carefully! Many birds build intricate nests out of twigs, leaves, feathers, mud–even dollar bills and clothespins. some nests are gigantic, housing hundreds of birds or weighing as much as a car, while others are just large enough to keep one egg safe and warm.
