nest

Typically, I would never touch a bird's nest.  My mother and grandmother instilled strong values in me about birds and their nests.  "Birds are very dirty and carry many diseases,"  I remember hearing from when I was a young child.
But...
I was in awe when the neighbor boy came to my door to show me the bird's nest he found in the yard.  It was the sweetest little nest I had ever seen.  It was crafted so perfectly with bits of twigs, leaves, threads and grass.  I am amazed that a little bird created this homey and cozy little nest for it's young.  What a sweet little treasure.
