The construction of the nest plays a major role in the relationship between the bird and the female and also in the bond between a pair and their nest. Good nesting material has a positive effect on breeding. In addition, they are an effective means of protecting breeding pigeons and their young from vermin, which also benefits the breeding result. It is sufficient to provide the pigeons with tobacco stalks during the nest-building phase. Birds build a more or less complex nest from various materials in order to incubate their eggs and care for their young in a protected area. The constructions vary greatly from species to species. Division of labor during nest building (source Wikipedia) Whether and with how much effort the male or female birds participate in nest building is primarily a question of species affiliation. In many cases, the partners build together, with the male often bringing in suitable nesting material, while the female is responsible for the arrangement and interior construction. In some bird species, the females build alone, in others the males. Here are a few examples from the domestic bird world: the house martin and the barn swallow build together. Carrion crows, magpies and jackdaws also build in partnership – although in some cases this is a division of labor: the males are mainly responsible for providing nesting material. Mute swans and white storks also build together. The house sparrow and tree sparrow build on an equal footing. The fact that only the females build is typical for some finches: greenfinches, goldfinches, chaffinches, goldfinches, etc. However, they are accompanied by their partner, i.e. he is present. Female blue tits, thrushes and reed warblers are left to their own devices when building their nests. In some bird species, the males start building the nest alone and then continue their activity when a female bird shows an interest in them and the nest site. This is the case with the pouched tit, where the pair continues to build together as soon as the nest and partner have been accepted by the female. Otherwise, the male starts a new nest elsewhere.
