How big was the bird that used this tree hollow? Imagine it squeezing through that opening.

It’s no easy task to carve a hollow in a tree when your only tool is a beak. The opening is exactly what’s needed for a safe shelter. No more, no less. Exactly right.

Unlike the elaborate decorations in our homes or the new gadgets in our cars, these additions don’t make a space more useful.

The bird that carved this hollow put in exactly the work needed. How much work do you put into what is unnecessary?
