Edmund Burke (12 January 1729 – 9 July 1797) was an Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist, and philosopher who, after relocating to Great Britain, served for many years in the British House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. He is mainly remembered for his opposition to the French Revolution. It led to him becoming the leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig party, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs", in opposition to the pro-French-Revolution "New Whigs" led by Charles James Fox. He is generally viewed as the philosophical founder of modern conservatism.

The architectural and ornamental style of the ancient German homes appealed to the storks, who arrived every spring and built their nests on the highest points and chimneys. The building of a nest upon a house by a pair of storks is considered as a presage of good fortune to the inhabitants, and they often suffered great inconvenience rather than drive away the birds. It is known that one man gave up the use of one of his rooms during the winter rather than destroy a nest two storks had built over the aperture of his chimney.
