What is another word for roosting places?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈuːstɪŋ plˈe͡ɪsɪz] (IPA) 
Roosting places are the areas where birds and some other animals find temporary sheltering. Various terms can be used as synonyms for roosting places such as perches, roosts, resting spots, birdhouses, bird odors, nesting sites, landing areas, and home bases. A perch is a narrow ledge or branch for a bird to sit on while resting. Roosts are similar to perches, but they provide a wider, sturdier platform for birds to sleep on. Resting spots, such as tree hollows or crevices, offer temporary shelter to birds from predators. Birdhouses are built specifically for birds to roost and nest in, while nesting sites and landing areas provide similar sheltering opportunities. Home bases are locations frequently visited by birds for their roosting needs.
