One of the most beautiful bird homes is made by the Bowerbirds. These nests are made not just for living or sleeping, but primarily by male birds to attract females. They use twigs, leaves, shells, berries, and even glass pieces to decorate.

Another beautiful home is made by the Baltimore Oriole. It weaves together the perfect, hanging nest from grass, string, and plant fibers, and they look like small hammocks when up in the tree.

A small, colourful bird, this Bulbul makes its nest in dense bushes, and is usually hidden to protect three eggs from predators. They make sturdy homes in an open-cup style, and because they are mostly brown in colour, they camouflage really well.

Another beautiful bird that makes a beautiful nest is the Eurasian penduline tit. They have bag-like nests that hang from the branches of trees, and they are usually spherical in shape with a small entrance.

The American Robin builds a simple but beautiful nest using twigs, grass, and mud, and they are extremely sturdy in order to protect the eggs. They are also deeper than other nests, ensuring the eggs don’t fall.

Another exceptional home in the bird family is of the Kingfisher. They have a tunnel-like home that is made by digging burrows on the sides of riverbanks, and this is where they lay the eggs.

Hornbills make their homes inside trees, and the female hornbill seals herself inside to protect the babies. The male hornbill seals the hole to the home with mud, fruit, and droppings, and with a small hole left, he sends in food.
