N is for NEST


During the Fugly Bee Bush Massacre, Aaron found two abandoned birds nests. Reese took them to school to show to her friends.

The funny thing was when Aaron decided to be an environmentalist all of a sudden, and told me we were "disturbing a natural habitat" and that the birds were going to be homeless now.
He was only looking for another reason NOT to tear down the hated bush/tree.

I pointed out the hypocrisy there, since he had just been siding with Ross on the whole "Shoot the woodpecker" argument.

Isn't it like, ILLEGAL to shoot woodpeckers in the Ozarks? Aren't they endangered or something? Should Ross REALLY be surprised that they're taking up residence in his yard, when he has 100 bird feeders out there? I'm just sayin'...
Aren't they beautiful?

I find it amazing that humans are not the only species that take great time and effort to create a cozy, inviting environment to bear their young in. I've been "nesting" for weeks!

I wish I could think of something cool to do with them. ANY IDEAS?

I have them in ziplocks right now for that exact reason. Birds are kinda nasty. We were never allowed to pick up feathers at the park or anything. But still...look how cool the nest is!
