Patience, seeds and birds’ nests

The textbook has the tale “Qushlar qanday inlarda yashaydi?” (What nests do birds live in?), where a kingfisher asks other birds about nests before choosing its own. We do not retell it; we read our own informational text. Birds build different nests: the swallow makes a nest of mud and straw, the stork builds a large nest in a high place, the woodpecker makes its nest in a tree hollow, the sparrow finds a place in a roof or wall crack. Some birds, such as the cuckoo, do not build nests at all. We do not touch nests or take eggs, because the bird may abandon them.
