Nests are delightful places

Of different sizes and shapes

Where species 

Birds, mammals, insects

Fishes and reptiles

Prepare for their young

- – -

Their habitats are made

Of different materials 

Such as twigs, leaves, grasses

Earth, sand, and rock

Even hair, plastic 

Old cardboard and paper

- – -

Some birds like eagles 

And vultures 

Build nests in trees

Snakes and turtles on sand

While wasps and termites

In tree barks and wood

- – -

Many nests are known

By different names

An eagle’s nest is an eyrie

While that of a beaver

Is a lodge

- – -

Persons interested in wildlife

Often erect nest boxes

In their backyards to attract

Large or small birds 

And some even place cameras 

In them to monitor 

The birthing and caring process

Of these birds
