Birds, Masters of their Craft
June 3, 2009
I have trouble knitting a sweater using both of my hands and yet a bird can weave a nest with its beak. It is remarkable and worth taking the time to admire its handicraft. I found this nest in an ornamental cherry tree. What a wonderful place to be born. Flower petals dropped into the nest make a soft and colorful mattress. Woven into the nest were a paper towel, green string, fresh and dried grass and lots of dried plant stems and twigs. It was truly a work of art.
