Creche is which term in avian biology?

• A. Roost
• B. Nest
• C. Perch
• D. Creche

Answer: (D)

In birds, a creche refers to a group of young birds kept together for care and protection, often while parents forage for food. It describes a nursery-like arrangement where nestlings or fledglings are cared for communally, rather than a sleeping site, a nest for incubating eggs, or a simple perch. A roost is where birds sleep at night, a nest is the structure for eggs and early development, and a perch is just a resting place. So the term creche best fits as the place or grouping where young birds are looked after together.
