    Some of these I already knew, but there are lots of fun facts here. Oh,… by the way,… on point #11, there are many birds that do sleep in their nests, including most swallows, sparrows, warblers, and most water fowl. You might find it interesting to know, though, that crows are the only birds that don’t build nests. Thanks for sharing.
