BIRDS AND THEIR NESTS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: A few days
ago going to move. decided TO
take down my bird houses which were perched
in every tree IN the yard. I got the ladder out
and took four Of them down. I picked the nests
apart, and discovered little bits OF twine
and cotton packed tightly in between feathers and
straws. The birds pack the house full OF straw,
leaving small tunnel reaching a sort OF round
room IN the back OF the house. It very cosey
and warm even after had taken the houses
down. then went in 20 my luncheon. When
came out again found all the little birds that had
been living IN the houses jumping from limb 10
limb and chirping IL their hearts would break
I felt sort OF sorry that I had taken the houses
down, SO put them all together again and put
them UP in their old places. While I doing
It the birds would sit on the limbs not ten feet
away and watch me anxioUsly, because they don't
like 10 have any one come near their As
I got them Up the birds began to build
their nests up again
II any OF our Little Men Women live in

houses up IN the trees I would advise them to do
