Make Your Own Nest

Today's Wild Wednesday is all about nests. At Nature's Way, we have our very own Black-Chinned Hummingbird nest on the play yard, complete with a nesting mother and eggs! That nest was very hard to find (they are only the size of a golf ball), but many nests are much easier to spot. Have you tried looking for bird nests in your neighborhood?

It can also be fun to gather materials to make your own nest. You can use mud like a Cliff Swallow, stack straw and sticks like a Pigeon, dig a hole in the ground like a Burrowing Owl, or maybe use something a bird has never thought of before!
