Planet of the Aves: New Nests
On the planet of the Aves, birds have evolved to dominate the Earth instead of mammals. Of the thousands of species in this world, both on the ground and in the water, the only one to develop sapience are a species of flying birds whose ancestors are the New Caledonian Crow.
As I design this species, I have wondered what I could expect their homes to look like, post sapience. After all humans went from basic grass nests to the universal walls and roof as its been coined (By me, just now) So obviously it stands to reason that Crows nests would also become more intricate.
What could I expect a sapient crows post sapience den to look like? What accommodations would a house made by birds for birds have to take into account? Could the Sapient Crow even get past the nest. The Un-human physiology of crows provides a number of constraints in the ways a house can be built and lived in, but does it also allow other new options?
