Spiking the Nest
In order to discourage birds
From building nearby nests,
Some owners place a row of spikes
To bar unwanted guests.
But crows and magpies, cleverly,
Uproot those spiky things
And use them in the homes they make
To shelter those with wings.
The very tools that humans thought
Would keep the birds at bay,
Our feathered friends employ
To keep their enemies away.
