POINTS TO REMEMBER Most birds make nest in the beginning of the summer season. They make nests on trees , between stones ,behind shells ,on leaves etc. Nests are made of grass, twigs, roots, wool, hair, leaves and even cob webs. Birds have many enemies like human beings and animals who steal their eggs. Birds’ feet are according to their need .i.e., webbed feet to live in water, crooked feet to hold tree branches. Birds’ beaks depend on the food they eat. Animals and human beings have teeth depending on their food requirements.

DUCK Ducks often choose parts of a garden where the vegetation provides them enough cover in which to conceal the nest. When constructing her nest, a duck will line it with soft down feathers she plucks from her own breast. This gives the eggs the best possible cushioning and insulation . Ducklings are covered with down and able to walk and leave the nest just a few hours after hatching. Most male ducks are silent and female ducks actually quack.

WEAVER BIRD The birds build their nests together for protection, often several to a branch. The nests are woven with long strips of paddy leaves, rough grasses and long strips torn from palm fronds . Usually the male birds weave the nests and use them as a form of display to attract prospective females . The weaver bird colonies may be found close to water bodies. Male bird is known to make up to 500 trips to complete a nest . The nest, being suspended from thorny trees and overhanging water, is protected from many predators.
