Bird’s Nest Pin-up by Kei Phillips

Publisher’s note: I am guessing that Kei thinks that the girl’s hair in this drawing looks like a bird’s nest, but it is sometimes hard, to tell what an artist’s thinking really is…

Some random thoughts on Bird’s Nests

Bird nests on your property – that is buildings – can cause a number of problems. One of the problems is the build-up of mold and infestation of mites. Most birds build their homes in warm areas like chimneys, wall vents and roofs. The nests can also block the proper circulation of air in your buildings, leading to the build-up of mold and carbon monoxide.

Birds build their nest in various places using different styles and materials. Bird nests are unique and many birds can be identified by examining their nests.

Bird nests are protected under the Wild Life Act. So do not take nest as a source for material. Remember it is also illegal to have in your possession any parts of raptures. So if you find feathers from hawks, eagles or ospreys leave them. It is okay to collect game bird feathers from quail, pheasants, ducks or turkeys, so if you find feathers from any of these birds then you may take them. Feathers can be found in most craft stores.
