It's easy to take birds for granted, but they play a crucial role in our ecosystem by controlling insect populations, pollinating plants and spreading seeds. They are also incredible engineers, with the ability to build complex – and beautiful – nests to provide shelter and protection for their eggs and chicks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave you ever wondered how they build them? 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. 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription\"\u003eThames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription\"\u003e48 Pages\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58698005119357,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/5612\/9433\/files\/IMG_0227_a6aca124-98fa-44ff-a514-405da25597e4.jpg?v=1789731097","url":"https:\/\/www.shelfeditions.com\/products\/the-secret-world-of-bird-nests","provider":"SHELF EDITIONS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
