Many burrow-nesting birds excavate their own burrows while some use those excavated by other animals. Soil plays a different role in theburrow nest; here, the eggs and young—and in most cases the incubating parent bird—are sheltered under the earth.
Cup nests are smoothly hemispherical inside, with deep depression to house the eggs. They are usually made of grass and a few are made of spider silk, mud and saliva. The spider silk is a lightweight material which is strong and extremely flexible, allowing the nest to mold to the adult during incubation (reducing heat loss), then to stretch to accommodate the growing nestlings; as it is sticky, it also helps to bind the nest to the branch or leaf to which it is attached
Some species of bird bury their eggs for incubation. This type of nest is called Mound. It is constructed using soil, branches, sticks, twigs and leaves. Birds lay their eggs within the rotting mass. The heat generated by these mounds, which are in effect giant compost heaps, warms and incubates the eggs.
Platform nests are large structure, often many times the size of the bird which has built them. The platform built by eagles is called eyries. These large nests are often used for many years, with new material added each breeding season.
The simplest nest construction is the Scrape. Itis merely a shallow depression in soil or vegetation. This type of nest typically has a rim deep enough to keep the eggs from rolling away. It is sometimes lined with bits of vegetation, small stones, shell fragments or feathers.
Pendant nests are elongated sac woven of pliable materials such as grasses and plant fibers and suspended from a branch. There are several species that weave pendant nests.

Ground Nests
Many birds do not build traditional “nests” at all, but rather create a small depression in the ground or in leaf litter in which they lay their eggs. These nests, referred to as scrape nests, are mostly used by shorebirds (like gulls )
Burrow Nests
Birds like burrowing owls, kingfishers, bank swallows and puffins build their nests in burrows. This provides protection from the elements and predators.
Cavity Nests
Like burrows, cavities in trees provide excellent protection. Birds who build cavity nests—like woodpeckers, and many species of owls—make use of holes in trees or hollow out their own.
Platform Nests
Platform nests are most commonly used by large birds of prey, like eagles and ospreys; however. Platform nests are, as the name implies, elevated and flat. They can be found in trees or on top of tall vegetation.
Cupped Nests
Cupped nests are the traditional archetype of a nest and the most commonly used. These nests resemble a bowl or cup .
Suspended Nests
Suspended nests can resemble intricate cupped nests, but are distinguished by how they are supported. Instead of being supported from beneath, suspended nests are supported by their rims or sides.
