| Many birds are architects in their own right, building their own nests, and in some cases reusing or rebuilding the same nest year after year. Perhaps no bird exemplifies this behavior better than those swallows that build their mud-daubed nests under the shelter of human architecture. I visited several bird sanctuaries, looking for evidence of how these birds prefer to live. I believe I will select a house for a swallow -- or multiple swallows. | |
