The article on the front page says that the birds will probably have a new nest and new eggs, either at the same spot or elsewhere.

A good friend of mine said the same thing.
“One can measure the greatness and the moral progress of a nation by looking at how it treats its animals” (Mahatma Gandhi)
"You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals" (Paul McCartney)
