Pendulous Nests. Pendulous nests usually have a round or oval nest area with a neck that suspends from the tip of a branch. The neck of a pendulous nest varies in length and width depending on the bird. Different birds create entrance holes in different areas of nest.
Nests (for birds that even make nestsâmany of them donât) are for keeping eggs and chicks in place. When nesting season is over, nests are a messâsplattered in the droppings of the fledglings and, in some cases, a dead chick. These messes can attract parasites and predators, and birds just donât need the nests anymore.
