They are also incredible engineers, with the ability to build complex - and beautiful - nests to provide shelter and protection for their eggs and chicks. Have you ever wondered how they build them?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e You're probably most familiar with cup-shaped bird nests made from twigs and grass, but this is just one of many designs that birds use to create a home where they can nurture and protect their young. Depending on their habitat and way of life, a bird's nest can float on water, teeter on the highest rocky outcrop or be burrowed inside the trunk of a tree.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this beautifully illustrated book, young readers will discover the remarkable variety of nest-building techniques used by birds from around the world, and marvel at their ingenious use of materials - from soft feathers and cushioning moss, to spiders' silk and sticky spittle.","brand":"Thames and Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57578552885621,"sku":"9780500653944","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9780500653944.jpg?v=1789485560","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.com\/products\/9780500653944","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
