“The lark builds her nest on the ground generally in cows' tracks.”
The Lark builds her nest on the ground generally in cows' tracks. It is made of very fine hay. She lays blackish eggs. When the young larks are hatched they are very healthy. They grow feathers very quickly and after about three days they leave the nest and creep among the grass. They do this because if they stopped in the nest too long they may get trampled by some animal or a hawk might pounce on them and kill them.
A Goldfinch builds her nest on a fir tree and lays six eggs coloured white with brown spots on them. The nest is made of bits of sticks. The nest is not very big and it is made in less than three days. Goldfinches go in flocks and chirp on a white thorn bush.- Collector
