We were part of an animal themed family fun day called Curious Creatures. Our exhibit &#8216;Why Do Birds Build Nests?&#8217; included two games where you travelled around Scotland and the world\u00a0 to match the bird and its nests to its environment. Our display included two hands-on (beak-on!) activities: the first was to build a nest that was able to hold a chocolate egg, the second was to build a nest (and eggs, and bird) to take home. Lastly, we had nests that you could touch, made by experts &#8211; the birds themselves! There was also a larger-than-life video of our zebra finches building in the laboratory and wild weaver birds building in South Africa.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/laurenguillette.weebly.com\/outreach\/dundee-science-festival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More details and images here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBSRC Anniversary Future Leader Fellow Dr\u00a0Lauren Guillette reports on attending the Dundee Science Festival in November: &#8220;We had a fantastic time at the Dundee Science Festival held at the Dundee Science Centre.
