BRUSH TURKEY
The Brush Turkey of Australia built their nests by kicking twigs and leaves into a mound. The female lays her eggs in the mound and leaves the male to fuss over the nest. The male pokes his bill into the mound to test the temperature, for it is the heat inside the nest that hatches the eggs.
OVEN BIRDS
The Oven Birds of South America built their nests. After the first rains. Clumps of wet earth are arranged to form a pot-shaped nest. The hot sun bakes the nest hard. Some nests are so large that a man can stand upright within them!
