[Robbie Hassler <drhass@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andy,

This the weirdest thing I ever heard of.   I think I'm going to have to try
real hard to keep from loosing respect for one of my favorite birds if she
builds her hallowed nest in a plastic milk jug..  How degrading for a dainty
damsel to have to accept a Metamucil box !!  Just a bit of camouflage paint
would help.  Oh well, it's the bird and not the abode we have to worry
about.

Robbie
