While reading Are You My Mother? Johann suggested, Only a branch like this can hold a nest.
We wonder what makes Johann think this.
Johann: Because it has two little tips, it has two little tips, two little tips. The mama bird goes right there. And they sit down. When they’re in this round part they sit down. When they are in the middle they stand.
Johann points to the parts of the nest while he explains.
We bring in a couple of sticks with this shape.
Johann: Then the bird nest go right there. The bird nest goes like that and then the bird goes Fwooo and lands right there. And then goes doot doot doot doot doot and then the bird flies fly fly like that and when the bird wants to, the bird fly fly flieeeees.
Johann hands the branch to Kesler and Kesler holds it up above his head.
Kesler: This looks like a F. That’s look like a T.
