Books to curl up with in a cozy nest box

Books are rather cumbersome things, aren't they? I find if you can open them with your beak and scratch some of the pages out, you'll get yourself a nice bit of bedding for your nest boxes. Not that I'm at all like Martha Stewart, but some of those pulp fiction tomes make for a very functional nest. Some of those glossy coffee table books have very thick, rough paper. I wouldn't bother trying those, it's like sleeping on the ground for heavens sake.

I have heard talk of a hen who can actually read over at the Cuthbert Farm. She's a wild thing, talking about aliens and meteors falling from the sky. That's all we need to start a riot! I hope she comes to her senses and keeps her beak shut.
