Birds Nest (horse)

Birds Nest was a Thoroughbred racehorse foaled in 1977 in Australia. He was known for his speed and versatility, competing successfully at distances ranging from sprints to middle distances.

Bred and raced by Stanley Wootton, Birds Nest was sired by the stallion Biscay out of the mare Scomeld. He quickly rose to prominence in Australian racing, achieving multiple Group 1 victories.

Key wins included the AJC Sires Produce Stakes and the AJC Champagne Stakes as a two-year-old. He continued his success as an older horse, adding races such as the Rosehill Guineas to his record.

Birds Nest's racing career was relatively short but impactful. He retired to stud, where he sired a number of winners, although he did not achieve the same level of success as a sire as he did as a racehorse. His name remains recognizable within Australian racing circles as a notable performer of his era.
