In fact, I believe that young birds seldom stayas long in a nest that has been discovered and handledby human beings as they do in one that has remainedundiscovered. This may be a wrong idea, but Ihave seen much evidence that goes to prove it. Itis an indisputable fact that the longer a young birdremains in its nest (I speak only of those whosehabit it is to remain in their home until they areabout ready to fly), that is to say, the more developedit is, the better is it fitted to withstand rain and toelude its only too numerous enemies. Probably onlya small percentage of the birds that leave their nestever reach maturity, so it is highly advisable to doall in our power to lessen their dangers rather thanincrease them by changing their surroundings andforcing them out into the world of enemies before. -Si
