Ospreys build large nests called eyries, which they use for breeding and raising their young. These nests can be up to six feet in diameter and three feet deep. Ospreys are known for their impressive nest-building skills. They use a variety of materials to construct their nests, including sticks, twigs, grasses, and mosses. They also use a lot of other objects like plastic and other human-made materials which are not good for their environment.
The male Osprey is responsible for collecting most of the materials used to build the nest, while the female is responsible for arranging the materials and constructing the nest. Ospreys have a unique way of building their nests, where they use sticks to create a bowl shape, and then line the bowl with soft materials like moss and grass.
