Bearding the lion

Everyone knows the real estate situation in Cambridge. So the Sparrow family was nothing but grateful when they discovered in front of Adolphus Busch Hall an old, angry stone lion, his mouth wide open in a permanent roar. They decided to nest in that silent roar, and so far, things have gone well. Above, the father flies in with some provisions for his chicks. Below, he waits for a mintue to locate, among the molars, the hungriest of the chicks.
