I have so much of this stuff--paper! Every time I go to garage sales, I always come home with at least one book--I can't help it---I have a weakness for them--the older the better.

!!..I didn't disturb it though--for any of your bird experts out there..will Mama bird come back?? and if she does, how do I go about watering my plant but keeping her home in tact??
