I love to watch birds!  It always amazes me 
  how they can build those nests!  I like to leave 
  scraps of hair and yarn out for them to find. 
  They'll use these things and weave them into a 
  nest.  Being a parent is a hard job, and the birds 
  can use all the help they can get.
What is the author's perspective?

• Humans should help birds build their nest
• Humans should never interfere with wild animals
• Birds are interesting animals
• Birds use lots of things to build their nest
