Nesting behavior refers to an instinct in animals during reproduction to prepare a place with optimal conditions for offspring.[1] The nesting place provides protection against predators and competitors that mean to exploit or kill offspring.[2] It also provides protection against the physical environment.[1]
Nest building is important in family structure[3] and is therefore influenced by different mating behaviours and social settings.[4] It is found in a variety of animals such as birds, fish, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles.[1]
