Lofty Homes is a term used to describe dwellings that are situated at a high altitude, such as AERIES and nests. An aerie is a large nest built by birds of prey, such as eagles, hawks, and falcons, usually on a cliff or in a tall tree. A nest is a structure built by birds for the purpose of laying eggs and raising their young. Both AERIES and nests are typically found in high places, making them ideal for lofty homes.
