Wire Bird’s Nest
From Oxfordshire comes the story of a dove’s nest on a farm, built, entirely of wire. This dove who wanted to be different, searching for nestbuilding materials, came upon an aeroplane hangar nearby which had been covered with quantities of wire used for camouflage. "'“Why not wire?’ cooed Mrs Dove, and “Why—er—not?” replied Mr. So their home was as thoroughly wired as the most elaborately-electrified modern house—only there was no danger of “short circuits” in theirs.
