It depends on the breed of the bird.

- Bird nests are commonly made out of twigs, grass, reeds and other natural foliage. Depending on the breed of the bird, the nest is made by either weaving the material in a similar fashion to basket weaving, while some other breeds use spit or mud to "glue" the nests together.

- Many birds, mostly those who live in urban environments, will make their nests with human litter such as straws, plastic wrapping and so on.

- Some birds, usually small African birds, make their nests out of mud or clay. They create an oval Rugby-ball shaped nest with a small hole to get in and out.

- Some coastal birds simply live in small caves created naturally by weathering along the coastline.

- Flightless beach birds sometimes build nests out of stones, pebbles and shells, as well as twigs and plant foliage. The shells and stones prevent the eggs from sinking into the ground.

- The Flamingo creates a unique nest. Flamingos fashion mud, clay, silt and twigs to form a mound around their eggs.

- Some burrowing birds, such as The Burrowing Owl. dig burrows in sand and soft dirt, much like a rabbit. Sometimes they will even take over abandoned burrows created by other animals such as rabbit burrows and badger dens.

- Some breeds of small parrots and a handful of other tropical birds (and the wood pecker) hollow out trees with their beaks and live inside the tree.

Please see the link I have provided you below in the Related Links. It shows you (fantastically) a wide variety of bird nests.
