Birdhouses

[SARGE]

This time of year gets me because I always build a few more birdhouses for my sex-starved sparrows. Yard and trees full of them. The fun part is sitting on the patio watching. The lady sits inside as the male brings each twig, straw, piece of cloth, whatever to her. She may drop it and he immediately swoops down to bring it back to her. If she drops it again he knows "that ain't coming into this house" so he flies off for something else. Days and days this goes on until she is evidently satisfied the nest is built to her liking. So simple and some reminders and lessons there.
