- The wood quest builds her nest in an ivy bush.
She builds it with sticks and scutch. She lays two eggs. The eggs that she lays are like bantam eggs. The colour of the eggs is white. When the young ones come out she carries off the shell and hides it the way now one will find her nest. She feeds the young wood quests with cabbage and worms. I saw all thoes things myself.
