around, so it's a happily symbiotic relationship. What never ceases to
amaze and enchant me is how unfrightened so many of the birds are.
They build nests very close to paths where literally thousands of
people pass over a season or right outside the kitchen window, which is
opened and shut several times a day and they zoom in and out of
greenhouses as if people just weren't there. One of the best things
about it is seeing the delight of small children at being at close
quarters with them.

back of a door :-)
