When we observe birds, wed better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and its better to use binoculars (雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡).But how to make a bird nest? Its very easy. If you want to make one, please follow these:a) Each nest must have six boards. Dont make the boards to slippery.（滑的）b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door.
