  1. Very interesting scene. This reminds me of a hilarious video from the BBC of a bird that also decorated its nest. It would collect shiny beetles and carefully position them as treasures around the nest. The problem was, the beetles were still alive and would run off, after which the bird continuously put them back into place, as a never-ending loop. Posted 12 years ago
