2. Food
3. Raise the chicks
4. All of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : All of the above

Explanation:

• Birds build nests to lay their eggs and incubate their younger ones.
• Different birds build nests at different places, some on ground level, some high up on the tree.
• Different birds use different techniques and different materials to build their nests.
• Making a nest and laying the eggs is only the first step.
• It is a difficult task to raise the young ones in the nest which is made with so much effort.
• Birds have many enemies, humans and other animals too.
• Crows and squirrels, cats and rats all of them wait for a chance to steal the eggs.
• Many times they even break the nest.
• To keep oneself safe from danger, to find food, make a nest, hatch the eggs and raise the chicks safely all these are to be looked after by a bird.

​Thus, a bird has to look after enemies, food and also raise its chicks after making the nest.
