Birds are the most consistently inventive builders, and their nests set the bar for functional design in nature.
Describing how birds design, engineer, and build their nests, “Avian Architecture” deconstructs all types of nests found around the world using architectural blueprints and detailed descriptions of the construction processes and engineering techniques birds use.
Each chapter covers a different type of nest, from tunnel nests and mound nests to floating nests, hanging nests, woven nests, and even multiple-nest avian cities.
