Who Tilted the Nest Box?

One nest box sat like a boat on a tilt — straw sliding downhill.
Pathway A: no lay yet so ignore. Pathway B: level it before eggs roll. Pathway C: blame a mystery thief.
Spike chose B plus look: scuff marks showed a bump from a busy morning roost shuffle.
Suzy checked under for roll lines — none yet. Good. Prevent beats rescue.
They levelled the box, tucked straw, and counted empty honesty: zero eggs lost.
Pavlova looked like she had meant the plot twist and forgave the mend.
Thinking Cap reminds: crooked can mean soon-lost, not already-gone.
Little Thunder cannot fit in nest boxes and did not try.
Kids: tilted bookshelf — straighten before books learn gravity.
Detective close: box level. Straw kind. Count still true.
Care is prevention you can touch.
Level early. Keep eggs safe.
