Birds are capable of adapting to so many different environments; no matter what they have to work with they make it happen. Not all birds nest, but all birds need a safe secure place to lay and hatch their eggs.
Scientists have found that birds can improve their nest making skills with time, meaning the older and wiser birds are more likely to have a cool nest. Savvy nest building skills are a must considering agriculture and urbanization robs birds of much of their natural nesting habitats.
Man-made birdhouses were first invented around the 15th or 16th century, they have risen in popularity as a way to help birds find a home when the picking is slim. Humans originally instituted some of the nests on this list, but most are all the work of birds. These unusual bird nests show just how clever birds are when it comes to building a home.
