Hi! Let's look at your sentence: "hoopoes nest in tree hollows and put a smelly on the eggs to keep other animals away from them."
Here's how we can make it better:
- Start sentences with a capital letter: "Hoopoes"
- We need to say what is smelly. Instead of "put a smelly," it's better to say "put a smelly substance" or "put a bad-smelling thing".
- So the corrected sentence is: "Hoopoes nest in tree hollows and put a smelly substance on the eggs to keep other animals away from them."
Great job noticing how hoopoes protect their eggs! Keep practicing sentences, and remember to start with a capital letter and be clear about what you mean.
