IN STRANGE PLACES
BIRDS’ NOVEL NESTS. A nest was built in a village in the Midlands on the back of a door in such a position that as the door was moved upon its hinges the nest expanded and contracted. Yet the young birds were undisturbed. In a Nottinghamshire garden a thrush built a nest and reared a family in thp heart of a cauliflower. A robin chose to build its nest in a nursery. The nest was inside a toy stable, on a shelf about 6ft. from the ground, and five young birds were hatched. The room was used by three children and a nursemaid, and a. gramophone was frequently playing. The birds paid no atention to the occupants of the room or to two pups sleeping there, and they did not attempt to fly away, though the window was open day and night.
