Nest Thieves | Okavango: River of Dreams

A pair of squirrels collect discarded materials to build their nest, but neighboring birds have a different nesting strategy. This video from the Nature miniseries Okavango: River of Dreams shows how two species of thieving birds benefit from the squirrels’ hard work. Support materials include discussion questions and an activity to help students explore the importance of nesting to animal survival.
