Birds are one of the few animals that can fly, so they go places other animals cannot. Robins build their nests high up in trees. There is a good reason for this. Robin parents stay in their nests with the babies as much as possible. But they must leave to find food. Sometimes baby birds must be left alone. This would be dangerous if the nests were on the ground because other animals could get to the baby birds. But since the nests are in trees, few animals can reach them. Baby robins are safer up in the trees than on the ground.
What is the main idea of the passage
1. Birds are one of the few animals that can fly.
2. Robins build their nests in trees
3. Sometimes baby birds must be left alone
