The bed or receptacle prepared by a fowl for holding her eggs and for hatching and rearing her young.
The place in which the eggs of other animals, as insects, turtles, etc., are laid and hatched; a snug place in which young animals are reared.
birds' nest are introduced into some coats of arms, and birds are frequently represented as on their nests, especially the Pelican. In the arms of RISLEY a child(q.v.) is represented lying in a nest. Argent, on a mount vert a tree of the last with two bird's nests pendent by strings gules--AURIOL, London. Argent, three Pelicans in piety or, nests vert; on a chief azure a mitre of the second between two mullets of the first--PATERSON, Scotland.
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.
A structure built by a bird in which eggs are laid and remain until they hatch. In many species, the young remain in the nest until they are able to fly. In some species, such as gulls, the "nest" is simply a scrape or depression on the ground.
Not a bird house, but a receptacle for eggs laid by birds.
Biogenic structure that typically (but not always) contains a clutch. Best represented by an arrangement of eggs or eggshells in definite patterns, but can also be denoted as a semicircular depression with a raised rim that was originally used to hold eggs or young (mound nest), or a hollow, subsurface chamber for holding eggs (hole nest).
(ing). Numogrammatic territorial envelopment, or topographic embedding. Inverse complement of Hatch(ing).
Nonsurgical Embryonic Selective Thinning. A form of assisted hatching using a chemical to thin the outer membrane of the zona pellucida rather than scraping.
a structure in which animals lay eggs or give birth to their young
inhabit a nest, usually after building; "birds are nesting outside my window every Spring"
a biogenic structure typically containing a clutch and commonly represented by an arrangement of eggs in a semicircular or spiraled pattern
a place where a birds or insects live
A structure in which the eggs are laid and chicks are raised.
Some animals laid their eggs and raised their young in nests. Some fossilized nests have been found, including those of the plant-eating dinosaur Maiasaura.
The location in which a bird is placed on the course.
the spot in a river or stream where the female bass deposits her eggs and the fry are guarded by the male.
The area of beach disturbed by behavioral activities involved in the activities involved in depositing eggs; including entrance and exit crawlways, body pit, egg chamber, and covering pit.
An area where sea turtle eggs have been naturally deposited or subsequently relocated.
A secluded place where a hen feels she may safely leave her eggs; also, the act of brooding.
Some animals lay their eggs and raised their young in nests that they build.
A nest is place of refuge built to hold an animal's eggs and/or provide a place to raise their offspring. 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.
