The sparrow taking a lit cigarette to its nest Quote: When the village store went up in flames, owner Paul Sheriff was at a loss to explain how it had happened. But eventually a little bird told him the truth. Insurance investigators concluded that a sparrow must have picked up a smouldering cigarette butt and deposited it among the dry twigs of its nest under the eaves. The resulting conflagration caused £250,000 of damage at Crescent Stores in Leasingham, near Sleaford, Lincolnshire. Initial investigations found no gas or electrical faults, but 35 cigarette ends were eventually found in various sparrows’ nests in the roof. Mr Sheriff, 48, a non-smoker, said: ‘It’s a pity really because I like seeing birds around the place but to think one of these pesky sparrows took a cigarette end onto the roof and caused all this damage is amazing. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ette-nest.html __________________ Forum Rules The Thanks! button Spelling and the TTR How to insert a picture Using our search feature Copying and pasting articles TTR Advertising opportunities
