   The swallows build in houses or chimneys. They build their nests of mud and small bits of straw. Then they line it with feathers, and lay five or six eggs and hatches them for about two weeks and a half.

   The cuckoo is another bird that flies to a warmer country. She does not build any nest, but lays an egg in an other bird's nest.
