It had a long, thick fringe and a centre with the softest tufts of wool I could find. I hung it in the carport to welcome visitors to our home. The weeks passed, and my hanging grew sparsper and more forlorn-looking as the birds and squirrels scurried off with lovely materials to build nests for their expected young. By the time the babies arrived, there was not a scrap of wool to be found on my hanging, and very little cord! I was thrilled that my creation had been put to good use in their own little works of art!<br />The perfect art installation, don't you think...LOL.<br /><br />Lynette<br />Imagination LaneLynette Killamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747902602019771481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861124098541076451.post-10948798114635140262010-08-02T21:50:39.596-04:002010-08-02T21:50:39.596-04:00Birds are so creative!

Last year I moved my wheelbarrow to find a nest of baby bunnies all snuggled up in my Gracie's hair. <br /><br />If you have ever owned a lab you know how much hair they lose. I am happy to have found a use for it, however small.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861124098541076451.post-78350487384850862682010-08-02T18:37:44.295-04:002010-08-02T18:37:44.295-04:00Mother Nature is plenty weird Tom...Mother Nature is plenty weird Tom...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861124098541076451.post-23456835458992115032010-08-02T18:32:21.466-04:002010-08-02T18:32:21.466-04:00Cuckoos visit the nest they intend to invade, then...Cuckoos visit the nest they intend to invade, then - miraculously - develop an egg inside themselves which mimics the colour and patterns of the species they have chosen to predate.

He told me years ago about it and I still do it in the spring. Every now and then I spy something in a nest because I often leave out red string so I can easily spot it. ...And I like to think the "she" birds are fussy with their home decoration too!<br /><br />zoldgreymarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797732200457673279noreply@blogger.com
