    Interesting, so this bird is collecting "jewels" to build a little palace. This reminds me of a scene on TV where a bird did the same thing. He collected a few very shiny beetles that looked like pearls. Yet them being alive, they kept running away, and the bird kept putting them back in place. Posted 12 years ago
