Note: These are the unique nests of the Tempua birds

found up high attached to the coconut leaves that sway

precariously in the winds but never find the reason to drop.

We see much less of them now as coconut trees are cultured

and dwarfed to be below 15 feet high now

In nests, dens, and burrows deep,
Animals lay their heads to sleep.
From rabbits low and eagles high 
All are provided homes under the sky

The eagle builds a lofty nest,
A sturdy home where eggs can rest.
High up on cliffs or in a tree,
It's where they raise their family.

The fox digs dens within the ground,
A secret place where cubs are found.
A cozy home to stay safe and secure,
And to keep them warm to endure

The rabbit burrows in the earth,
A cozy place since days of birth
A home to hide and feel secure,
As predators might just appear

The owl finds homes in hollow of trees,
A sheltered place from wind and breeze.
A place to rest and watch the night,
Until the dawn brings morning light.

From nests to dens to burrows deep,
Animals find their own homes for keeps.
A place of safety, warmth, and rest,

Being on their own without guests
