Did you see that little bird nestler in the tree yesterday?

Yeah, it was so cute! I love watching them build their homes.

I've read it can take days, but it's worth it for a safe place to raise their chicks.

Root Explanation

The word 'nestler' originates from the Old English 'nest' (meaning nest) combined with the suffix '-ler' (indicating a person who does something). A nestler is therefore a person who makes or tends to a nest.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'tends to a nest' — that's what a nestler does, as they are involved in the care or creation of nests.
