The Mentality of Wild Birds and Beasties 



search of mud and therewith plaster up the entrance of 

 the stolen nest, imprisoning the dastardly robber for 

 life. Absolute proof of this would be rather gratifying, 

 but alas ! for the truth or probability of this kind of 

 poetic justice, the thief's powerful bill and mentality 

 against the soft materials of the prison door appear to 

 have been overlooked.
