| Interesting
Bits : Birds in the House |
|
 This
week we stumbled upon this story in the Jamaica
Star. This story, 'Birds in the House', could
easily speak to being in harmony with the environment
but you can decide.
"Leebert Todd was shocked when he found
a hummingbird's nest in a bamboo plant in his
living room. He was even more shocked when he
found eggs in the nest and later saw the bird
teaching its chicks how to fly in his kitchen
and living room".

nation on earth by more than 300 million people.
It is the number one sport in the majority of
