Abstract

Nest building in birds require extreme skills of engineering. nests of birds are also having huge variations in their size, shape, structure, construction material used, construction pattern, selection of site for nest, nest architecture etc. The study was carried out in the month of June 2017 to July, 2017. The Bhokar forest office nursery is big nursery containing various plants. This nursery shelters for many birds. Prinia socialis 13–14 cm long warblers have short rounded wings and longish graduated cream tail tipped with black subterminal spots. The tail is usually held upright and the strong legs are used for clambering about and hopping on the ground. This study was baseline for the new comers.
