Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

OK sweets, now assume there is some sort of special bird feeder, that would solve the beak problem.

Okay, I think I know the answer to the canaries. Canaries need gravity to swallow(learned this in biology today), so they will not be able to swallow in space, like humans.

Here is one my friend gave me:
All about the house with his lady he dances. Yet he always works and never romances.

Alright, one more, sorry.
The more you add me to a box, the lighter the box becomes. What am I?

R. Sweets!!!!!! WOOOOW! You are right. It is true that birds need gravity to swallow, unlike humans who can even swallow hanging upside down.
