The nests of the birds make it easier for the heating of eggs, provide protection for masonry, causeing birds and chicks from adverse weather conditions and predators. Building nests in birds is an extremely complex phenomenon. Birds are satisfied with the nest to postpone eggs in it and grow chicks. However, there are birds that do not suit nests, while others do not raise chicks in it, since they leave it immediately after hatching from eggs. Most birds nest for a year once, many two or more. Frame birds in wintering will not nest.

Bird's nests are very diverse in its location, form and used for construction of building materials. The easiest way of nesting is observed kozoloev, who lays eggs right to the ground, not even making pits. Gagars and other small numerics nest in the crevices of rocks, without building special nests. A number of birds - river and small crags, some horses - a hole for the jack, but it does not dump it; Other kelits, chicken, drof, cranes and many other birds such a fossa has a more or less pronounced outlet. Sparrow, which nest on Earth, buy a real nest in the yam, and the rattling foam also makes a kind of "roof" above the nest, which due to this has a side entrance. On the ground nests are similar in their structure floating sockets such birds like a leaning, gagars and marsh colors. These nests float at a fairly deep water among vegetation and withstand the weight of the masonry of eggs and the crucible birds. It is much more complicated by the structure of the nest of birds that nest on trees and shrubs. But here are all transitions from a simple bunch of sprigs (pigeons) to the most complex nests, among which there are retained jack and green crossbear nests, spheroid nests with the side move of the long-knitting of the title and the wretchedness, hanging nests of the orioles and remise.

Some of the most skillfully woven nests build many weaves. For example, ordinary public weft creates group sockets when under a single roof is up to 200-400 individual nest cameras. Usually, trees are used for them, but in South Africa, the facilities willingly use pillars of power lines.Many birds nest in closed places. Many sparrow, fun, rickery, dyatyl-like, owls, parrots, some pigeons, etc., and others, and others, and others, and others, and others, and others, and other dyatli are harvested. Many birds they nest in the crevices of rocks or in houses (striži, etc.), swallows, many halles are pushed out of moistened soil, and salanges - from lumps quickly solidified in the air saliva. Pechers from South America are arranged from clay huge spherical nests on the roots of mangrove trees. Some birds are coastal swallows, kingfisher, pure - root in cliffs with a soft ground hole with a nesting chamber at the end of the course.

Some of the weed chickens do not survive their eggs, and you bury them into the ground or a bunch of humus, where they develop due to solar heat or heat that occurs when rotation of plants. The nest functions as an incubator of 6-9 months. Some types of weed chickens living in areas of acting volcanoes have buried eggs in warm soil on their slopes.Many rhinos birds after the female will postpone the eggs, the male closes up the hole of the hollow with the slot of the clay, leaving only a narrow slot through which the beaks "captors" passes through. The female agitates eggs and continues to remain in the voupel of a few weeks after hatching chicks.

In the prevailing majority of bird species, nesting conservatism is developed: after successfully nesting, the birds are returned to their nesting site or restore its old nest or build a new one somewhere nearby.

After the bird finds his soul mate, the male and female begin to create their own cozy corner. Each bird does it in his own way, so in the nest can be easily defined in it. For example, love to have nests near their relatives. On one you can see a lot of nests that are very close to each other. This distance is so insignificant that the rags can reach the adjacent nest.

Building materials of the gri are chosen in the form of boring, and from the inside, overlook the nest with dry grass. Unlike many other birds, the grits make themselves nests not for one year, and also constantly repair them.

A tree with 1-2 jacks belongs to the main forty. Their nests have a look of a huge ball with the lumen. As the basis for its dwelling, Soroki use the Earth. Keeping a solid bowl, they proceed to create a deepening, which poultry called a tray. Tray Soroki will rifle. "Large construction" Soroki start in spring. The nests are famous for durability and remove not only rains and snowfall, but also strong winds.

Most birds of singers prefer the construction of nests in the form of open bowls. However, each type of songbirds is a nest in his style. For example, a wagtail takes the basis of moss, roots, leaves and stalks, and inside lifts the tray with hair and fluff. In general, her nest looks like a disheveled bunch of leaves.

Many birds make nests in dupes. These include Woodles, Tits, Fresh and Skvorts.

Challenges, unlike the dwelling of the shaking, have a more accurate look. The chance of a chaff is tightly vit from the stems of moss of lichen and herbs, and the tray covers down in powder, hairs and feathers. Outside the nest, this bird covers the bark and lichen. The wretched wretched socket in the shape of a ball, closing it from above. This type of birds for the construction uses leaves, straw and moss, and he makes the entrance to the socket.

As for swallows, they make their slips from clay and dirt, glueing them with saliva. The nests have the shape of a hemisphere and are often located under the roofs or on the walls of houses. Striges during the construction of houses use the allocations of their subsidiary salivary glands. From these nests in Indonesia and China are preparing an exotic and very expensive soup.

Why the birds need nests

The reason for creating birds is quite simple - it is descendants. Building strong nests, the feathers take care that their eggs are in complete safety. The nest does not simply serve as a secluded place, but also protects eggs from supercooling.

It is for this that most birds insulate the bottom of the nests with moss, wool, grass, octo, hay and feathers. Gags specifically pluck their down and completely wrap them with eggs. And after the chicks grow, this Pooh collect people and use it as a filler in the down jackets.

Birds - amazing creatures, and people have something to learn!

Different birds - different nests

Different birds - different nests

Talking about everyday life of the Fathers, we again returned to the birds. Hold down in their kingdom a little more.

So, with cacificance, it is completed, the places for the nests were found, the pair's engagement took place. Now new concerns from feathered parents.

We must build sockets. Storks, chas and eagles in this matter equality: and the female and the male are engaged in nesting equipment. Others (Drozd, Finch) are only females. There are those who build males (floats, wipes, telegelles).

And wild pigeons, for example, and Heron Quáquakes have established such a division of labor: the male collects and brings different blamers and twigs, and the female wets the nest.

What brings? In the beak, not in the paws: alone drag on a branch (pigeons, herons, cormorants), others are stuffed with blades full beaks (for example, canary).

And the parrots transport building material is a very original way: stuffed it into the plumage of the back and so fly with the load by shoulders.

Goatoes - Birds without nests (even think about such a strange!). They postpone their two eggs right onto pine chew and have them, which is called, on bare earth.

Ducks and geese in the bodie (or between the bumps!) They are knocked out a small hole and linse it only by those stalks and blades, which can reach the beak. When they leave the nest, cover it with soft feathers, pulled out of the abdomen.

The other birds nests are a miracle of construction art. For example, the ball of the remind, the bird-party, which was already speech, or in the hammer-headed birds of Africa.

Quene's robes tie their nest to the tree with real nodes. Fibers, nadered from plants, they skip several times through the fingers so that the loop turns out, and then take the end of the "rope" to the beak and tighten the loop firmly.

The smallest humor of the nest with thimble, the vultures and eagles weigh several centners! But the largest nests of public facilities. Their females are built under the overall roof many small camork. Apartment bird covers the crown of the entire tree sometimes.

And material for nests is different: twigs, blades, fluff, feathers, wool, leaves, Il, clay. Even your own saliva! In South Asia and in Australia lives well known to all local gourmets of Strege Salangan. From his nests cook ... soup.

That's how it lives the nest: climbs the paws to the rock and lubricates the sticking stick, drawing the silhouette of the cradle on it. He drives his head to the right and left - saliva immediately freezes, turns into a brownish crust. And salangean everything lubricates it from above. The walls are growing at the nest, and it turns out a small cradle on a huge cliff.

The cradle is this, they say, very tasty. People climb on high cliffs, clogged with the light of the torches on the walls of the caves and collect Salanan's nests. Then they are boiled in boiling water or chicken broth, and it turns out a great soup, as the expensum assure.

Most recently discovered that salanges are of interest not only for deli, but also for biophysicists: these birds, flying in the dark, send forward acoustic intelligence officers who "crack like a children's clockworking toy" - that is, the ultrasound "feel" surroundings.

Siamese Streach Tsipsiurus - He lives next door to Salangana - also glues his sloshing nests: collecting feathers and on the leaves of large palm trees sticks a feather to a nice.

And so that when the wind is strong, the eggs did not fall out of the "Parina", it sticks them to the bottom of the nest.

Flamingo pested nests from ла: Pretty high stands with a deepening at the top.

With such long legs with which the evolution entered the flamingos, only on a high end of the end and can be sitting with some convenience.

In Brazil, almost everywhere in thick branches of large trees, growing near huts and villages, you can see pretty huge lumps of clay. Small red-yellow birds, similar to Drozdov, with a shrill cry are fussing near the trees. These are bird birds, and clay "melons" on the trees are their nests. Each nest is a real "brick" Domishko with hay and a hill (it weighs 3-4 kilograms, while the bird itself is only 80 grams).

Male and female build a nest together. First, "bricks" are harvested - large lumps are rolled out of clay, magnitude with a rifle bullet. For strength to clay, plant fibers are mixed. Bricks bring on a tree. On the thick bitch, the foundation of the future nest is folded. The birds have no other tool except the beaks and paws, but with the help of these simple "guns" they quickly complete the base of the house and begin to build vaulted walls. And then the roof in the form of the dome. In one of the walls leave a circular hole. This is the door. Interior room brave into two rooms. And the house is ready!

Calao-rhino, when the nest is building, also pulls the clay in the beak.

Kalao is found in India and nest in the vaplah of trees. Only only the female will be taken in the hollow and postponed the first egg there, the male begins to shine with a special solution from clay, the sludge and its own litter in the hollow and soon climbs his girlfriend in it. It leaves only a small slot through which the female can push the beak. Several weeks, so far chicks will not be taken out of eggs, it sits in imprisonment. All this time, the male feeds apart by insects and fruits. When the chicks bring out and fixed, the male thick beak swallows the clay wall and produces a female with children to freedom. Strange spouses relationship ...

It turns out that the poultry poultry lines the poultry female. Almost all feathers fall at her immediately. In this form, the bird is completely helpless. That is why the male inspires her in the voupel. Behind the clay wall and warm and safely.

But if the male dies, dies and the female: without his help, it cannot get out of imprisonment.

Bottling this thing is to build nests. Bottling and difficult.

What a hard one could tell the poor Truegell (Australian weed chicken), which, for heating eggs, it is necessary to build "Egyptian pyramids".

When the first researchers of Australia saw strange earthlings on the plains of this country, they accepted them for the gravestone mounds of the natives. But it turned out that this is ... bird nests. And not simple nests, but incubators!

Telegella do not cause their eggs. They burrow them into a heap of rotting garbage. Heat, which is released during rotting, warms eggs. Eggs develop in a trash can, as in the present incubator.

"Incubators" builds a rooster. Large and strong legs, he cries in a bunch of all kinds of garbage. Works many days and builds a truly grand construction: Some hilly sockets of the telegellov reaches a height of five meters! We found the buildings of weed chickens at fifty steps around the circumference.

When the "incubator" is ready, female approach him and, picking up a bunch of garbage, buried eggs into her. One egg in separate recesses. Eggs are always burying with a blunt end up, so that the chicks make it easier to get out of the shell.

The rooster is on duty at the "incubator". If there is too high temperature from rotting the leaves in a pile, it disrupts the extra layer of the Earth or makes deep outstands. If there is little heat, it throws up from above some more garbage. To measure the temperature, the rooster has its own "degrees" - the inner side of the wings is not operaen from him, and, touching the naked body to the nest, the cock instinctive learns what is in it the temperature. Normal - 30-32 degrees.

After 9-12 weeks from eggs, chickens are derived, they will have hard work: you need to get on the surface from under the layer of earth and garbage with a thickness sometimes up to 1-2 meters. But newborn chips are far from helpless. They are born already perfectly operable, very large and stronger. As moles, they tirelessly grow ground and legs and wings and soon get out of clean air. Soldering in the sun and blinking, young telegels begin an independent life. At this time, they already know how to fly!

On our swamps and rivers there is a bird, which also heats up their nest with heat of rotting plants. This is a refining, or Chomga. Built from the old reed nest Chomgy, exactly miniature raft, freely transferred to the wind from one part of the lake to another. The heat of rotting plants, on which the eggs lie, protects them from cooling from below. Of course, the primitive "greenhouse" of Chomgi only remotely resembles powerful "incubators" of teleaglers.

Wooden for nests knocked out in old trees. And they are not lined inside them inside. Chicks sit right on the hard tree. But on the legs, on the heels, they have shock-absorbing corns, so the "bedding" in young people do not happen.

All other birds - and Tits, and the Gorikhvostka, and Sparrows, and Skvorts, - which are often settled in the dumps abandoned with dyatullah, they have ordinary nests there.

Sokol and owls nests are not built, and sofi and ravened nests are a little rewor a little on their own. One American owl takes chicks even in Norah Surkov.

Oropendole birds are found in Central America. They fly very complicated, similar to jugs of nests, which are suspended to the branches of trees. In the tropics behind the bird eggs, different landmarks are hunting: monkeys, wild cats, lizards, snakes, raccoons, opossums - a lot of them, everything is perfectly climbing on the trees, and the birds will not easily protect their offspring from them.

But in "Jugs" Oropendol predators do not risk clicure, because there are always dangerous balls on the branch - the nests of the OS. Oropendols usually come with the nests on the branches where the wasps settled. His neighbors - birds - the wasps do not touch, but all uninvited guests are stupid without mercy.

Woodpecker Micropterns started friendship with ants. He confesses the nest without fear right in the middle of an anthill his burning "friends."

There are kingfisher, which nest in meters, and sparrows and shaks - in the nests of Orlov and storks.

In a word, a variety here is an excellent.

I cannot tell about all the models of bird nests.

Who wants to know more about them, will gladly read the excellent book about the birds of the largest connoisseurs of Oscar Haynrot ("from the life of birds"). There is a lot of interesting things there.

And now we will see what concerns are worried about feathered parents after the nest is built.
