The CyberSquad attempts to create a nest similar to that made by the Tiki Bird so that they can hold an egg in it. When they have difficulties holding the nest together, they believe they should use glue, but Creech shows them part of a nest that a Tiki Bird made, and it doesn't have any glue. They identify the pattern of the strands and replicate it to create a nest.
