- (continued from previous page)The thrush builds its nest in the bushes. It builds its nest of mud grass and fibrous roots and feeds on earthworms, snails and insects. The blackbird's nest is much like that of the thrush but the inside has a soft lining of fine grass instead of mud.The wren although a small bird builds a big nest. Its nest is made of moss, mud, sticks and feathers. The magpie builds a very large nest.It is made of sticks and sharp thorns to protect it from its enemies.
The cuckoo makes no nest but lays its eggs in the sparrow's nest.- Collector
