Mimic a Bald Eagle nest

Problem:

Homeless people don’t have enough places to sleep.

Biomimicry Idea:

Bald Eagles build huge strong nests at tops of trees. My idea is to create big eagle like nests for the homeless to give more shelter. These nests/beds will be a few feet off the ground. Volunteers will help build these huge nests/beds out of sticks and logs that will be brought from fallen trees, logs, and sticks that are found in forests and surrounding areas. These shelters will be beautiful and natural, and a nice place to be.

How does nature help the Bald Eagle?

Nature helps Bald Eagles build big nests by giving them strong wings and talons. Another thing that helps Bald Eagles is they have a big body to help hold big sticks to use for nests. Bald Eagles often build more than one nest and rotate which nest they use.  This helps keep the nests clean of pests and gives them options of another place to go if their nest tree is damaged.
