Red face birds,objects and importance.your view needed.

Hello,
I'm a 3rd year photography student, am I'm doing a project on birds, studying them for the past few months has been so interesting, especially by the way birds are so resourceful and use so many objects that become important in their nest making...
part of my project, I am compiling a dictionary and id love you to get involved with me.
I would like a list of up to 10 objects that mean the most to you, no other details about the history of the object or why the object is important to you is needed, just the object itself. I will not publish your name with the results, just the list...

the bird watching community is huge, but many people know very little about the individuals that are part of it...I hope to change this and produce an interesting look into objects that we value just as much as the birds that we watch...

thank you for your time.
any queries please done hesitate to get back to me.
Sarah Crew

Re: birds,objects and importance.your view needed.

Hello sarah, I am a little confused as to what you actually need,as I do not build nests,do you want a list :e.g wife, children, books,pictures,etc. things that are important to me personally ?

Re: birds,objects and importance.your view needed.

Unashamedly sentimental:

My mother's wedding ring
My father's prayer book
The Meccano clock my brother made
My grandfather's manuscripts

By the way, I'm not a birdwatcher
