Who Tilted the Nest Box?

Speed

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.
