nest safe predator harm gather babies<br />

incubation hatch remain fly themselves<br />

Birds are amazing creatures. Most<br />

birds can fly. Most birds build their<br />

nests in high safe spots. A bird<br />

wants to find a safe place for their<br />

home. They do this so they do not<br />

get eaten by a predator. A bird will build its nest with<br />

whatever it can find. Some common materials you will find<br />

in a bird’s nest are twigs, fabric, mud, and even paper.<br />

A mother bird will lay her eggs in her nest. She will sit on<br />

the eggs to keep them warm. This is called incubation.<br />

The babies inside the eggs need to stay warm so they can<br />

grow. Baby birds hatch out of their eggs when the time<br />

is right. The babies will remain with their mother until they<br />

can fly and find food for themselves. Then they will go<br />

out into the world and build their own nests.<br />
