Hi, Rover.

Could I ask another question, please?

A bird nest is the spot in which a bird lays and incubates its eggs and raises its young.

I wonder if it is correct to say “A birds’ nest” and “A bird’s nest” in the above sentence.

Thanks.
 
Yes.

A bird's nest is the spot in which a bird lays and incubates its eggs and raises its young.
A birds' nest is the spot in which birds lay and incubate their eggs and raise their young.
