Dig up a nest into a tree
What are some animals that dig up a nest into a tree?
Is this grammatical?
I would think a more grammatical way to say it is: make a nest inside a tree, but it sounds too simple and a little bit awkward.
Top answer
To dig up something is to take it out of the ground by removing the dirt covering it, so you can't dig up anything into something. You might say they dig a nest into a tree, but you don't really dig wood that way. They make a nest in a hole in a tree, usually a hole that is already there.

- Few animals can actually make such a hole, and for those that do, I guess it is usual to say how they do it.
- Some birds peck a nest cavity in a tree trunk.
