Houses of Animals
As we all know, every living being on this planet needs a shelter/home for their survival and a better place where they feel safe and peaceful than any other place on this planet. Like our home, where we live, work, play, enjoy, sleep, and feel comfortable. It is a place where we store our food and other stuff of our needs that makes us feel better and safe from danger and trouble.

In the same way, animals and birds have places where they live, sleep and feel comfortable. They have a family to feed for their survival and feel safe from external threats, lay eggs, raise their young, and seek protection from natural consequences such as cold, rain, and other harsh weather conditions. They use their homes/shelters for their purpose.
