  Looking on the bright side, it does have educational value, as it clearly shows what a nest looks like :) Posted 12 years ago

    Yes they seem to have a hole at the bottom of the nest where they do their business, also I observed the little ones balancing out over the nest to do their business too, this must be very risky and possibly explains why some of them do topple out the nest to their demise :( Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago
