There are two possibilities:
- A crows nest can be the nest of a species of bird called a crow. These are big twiggy nests built in the tops of trees and as crows like to nest together, clusters of nests form which are called a "rookery". Rookeries are very noisy in the breeding season.
- The term "crow's nest" is also the name given the to platform at the top of the main mast of a ship. In the early designs it was simply a barrel or a basket lashed to the tallest mast. Later it became a specially designed platform with protective railing.
