The nest is a structure built by most birds to accomodate eggs and (eventually) growing young. Most nests built by passerines (perching birds) are circular masses of intertwined leaves, twigs, and sticks. A few are made of spit or mud, and some (such as that of the Killdeer) are scarcely more than a scratched-out depression in sand or soil.
