Burro?  Heavens no.  Our blazing success has been attribited to our female 
postal carrier wearing shorts.  She walks much faster past the dogs, 
knowwhatidmean?  BTW, she doesn't like being called a person-person either.

So you're saying that pstittacines (I'm trying to learn to spell that word 
without looking it up everytimr) tend to not just use what's available like a 
lot of American song birds?
Actually, what I was trying to say was ... - if a lovebird pair built a nest, 
would a different pair at some later date adopt the same nest without 
building their own?  AND would a pair always build a fresh nest every year 
without recycling the old one?
