Location, location, location. It's just as important for birds as it is for people. A nest on a shelf in a garage full of junk seemed like a great idea at the time I'm sure. It's in out of the wind and rain, and there are no cats skulking around and no magpies looking to raid the nest. But what's this. All of a sudden these little fellows think there big enough to stand up and have a look around. So when I went out one day for something, there's this one standing on the edge of the nest surveying his surroundings for the first time. I quietly withdraw. He is unperturbed. But now I begin to see some problems on the horizon. And sure enough they come to pass.
