- There are many birds in Ireland such as the lark builds it's nest in the grass on the ground & when it wants to go away for food it flies along a bit before it goes into the air & nobody could find its nest. The robin builds its nest in the ditch. The wren builds also in the ditch it covers the nest all over & only leaves a little hole for to go out in. The pililipin never builds a nest it is a funny bird it has a little top not not on his head. If a boy touch a birds nest the bird will never go near that nest again she would smell your hand off of it.
