They are usually made of some organic material such as twigs, grass, and leaves; or may simply be a depression in the ground, or a hole in a tree, rock or building. Sometimes available human made materials such as string, plastic, cloth, hair, paper, etc. may be used as well. Look up nest in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Bird nest -
Most species of birds build some sort of nest, though some lay their eggs directly onto rock ledges or bare soil without first modifying the area. Nest types vary from the very simple scrape, which is merely a shallow depression in soil or vegetation, to the elaborately woven pendant or sphere; some bird species use cavities in trees or dig burrows into the ground.
