nesting area
Where birds brood
A nesting area is a place where birds or other animals build nests and raise their young.
The term applies to specific sites—a patch of reeds, a stretch of beach, a hollow tree—as well as broader regions: The wetlands serve as a nesting area for migratory waterfowl.
Conservation efforts often focus on protecting nesting areas from development or disturbance.
