Drawings of Bird Nests

I’ve always found bird nests fascinating. How do birds with just their beaks and feet manage to collect tiny twigs and other natural items and weave them into a stable structure? They are truly works of art.

And, so many bird’s nests are made following a specific design. Some are wedged into a fork of a tree, some are in the hollow of a tree, some are on the ground and even others hang from branches like a bag.

I doubt I will have drawings of bird nests to match every bird and type of nest. However, there’s quite a bit of variety among these bird nest drawings. Everything from simple little black and white nests to full-color images that could add to your home’s decor.

And, like all of the images on Reusable Art, all of these drawings of bird nests should be in the public domain if your country follows the Berne Copyright Standard or is looser than Berne.
