The blackbird builds her nest in a blackthorn bush. The thrush also builds in a bush. The robin builds in the side of a ditch. The wren builds her nest in the middle of a whitethorn bush. Even though she is the smallest bird she lays the largest number of eggs. The magpie builds her nest in a high tree. The cuckoo builds no nest. She lays her egg in the nest of another bird. The corncrake makes her nest in a meadow. The sparrow builds hr nest in the thatch.
