Talk:Nest

A fact from Nest appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 August 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that termite nests (pictured) can be nearly 7 m (23 ft) tall, that bald eagle nests can weigh 2 tonnes (4,400 lb), and that an extinct bird likely made a nesting mound 50 m (160 ft) in diameter?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/August. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nest.

I've seen man-made objects that have been used for nests, and also swans that have used litter for nests. I don't have sources for that though...
