1. Supongo que se refiere a una persona de edad tierna o figuradamente una persona de poca experiencia.
2. No sé (colmena??)
3. "Nido de víboras" sería "nest of vipers". También parece que es el título de una película que en inglés es "The Snake Pit".
4. No sé

Algunas tienen nidos y otras usan hoyos en la tierra.

mouse != rata

mouse = ratón
rat = rata

would this nest go for "Bird's Nest" in Beijing? I'm sure it does.

[Rusty]

El Nido de Pájaros = the Bird's Nest in Beijing.

1. You're such a sponge (you'll believe anything). -or-

I realized that letting Rusty reply first would save me a lot of work (j/k) All his answers are right.

What do a father means when he says "Espero que mis hijos salgan ya del nido"?

Saludos

[Rusty]

This means that the father is anxious to have the kids get out on their own (making a life for themselves).
In English, we wait for our children 'to fly the nest'.
When all of our children have flown the nest, we then become empty nesters.

Un sugus para Rusty!! (one candy for rusty, for answering it right)
Saludos
