Baby Birds V

For the first time in a long time when I stuck my head out the front door I did not find any birds. Now that the baby's can fly I think we may have seen the end of them. Oh well it's been fun.

Of course like all party's the clean up is always a bitch.

A picture from last night on our way out the door. A baby bird that made it over to the garage.

Baby Birds III

An update to Maybe they need a five bedroom house.

Got home early today (working from home this afternoon) when who's blocking the doorway but a baby bird. Seems he's already managed to get out of the nest. He seemed in good shape. He had no trouble flapping his wings.

By the time I got back with the camera he was gone. Don't know if he made it back to the nest. I couldn't get close enough to check for beaks.

UPDATE: Just say the baby birds in action. Just had a visitor to the door. It was enough to startle the birds and send two flying off. They made it safely to the house next door.

Maybe they need a five bedroom house

A small update to Baby Birds II. It appears that while quiet the birds are up and moving around.

Four baby birds can put a tight squeeze on a nest. So much so they have to climb up onto the side of the nest to move around. What's amazing is that they seem to be content all packed in there for most of the day.

Baby Birds

I have a new game at our house. I try to open the door, lean out and grab the paper without disturbing the birds. Kind of like a game of operation. Today I thought I did a great job because no bird came flying out of the nest. That is until I thought I noticed another beak.

So I ran back in a got my camera. I quietly reached around the door frame and snapped a photo.





Not bad from inside the house eh?

Bird Update #2

Got back from the good ol' vacation to find that the birds had settled in to the nest above our light. Looks like we have a new resident. Here's a pic I took, heavy on the zoom so I didn't startle them, from this morning.

Bird Update

So after running through a CSI style photo session of my new Bird's nest I figured I had scared them away. Well imagine my surprise when I startled a bird out its nest this morning when I went to get the paper.

The little sucker was back a couple of hours later when I headed off to work. I wonder if they will settle in while we are gone.

Place is going to hell

Funny, you don't go out your front door for about 24 hours and suddenly you have squatters. We don't live downtown so it's not that kind of squatter. Image my surprise when I opened the door and bird flew right in front of me. Here I was thinking "What the hell ... What is he doing".

Then I notice something to my left.



There's a birds nest on my light fixture. Now during the Christmas session we use this light near the door as our plug to the Christmas lights. One of those light socket to ac plug converters. Well seems as I left the top off. So the birds moved right in.

Go figure.

Now I do want to add this picture to show the work done in making this nest. That's pretty impressive.




UPDATE: It should be pointed out that without Government subsidies, proding by Stephane Dion or any Green party hack we are using CFL bulbs. 69W vs 300W to light the outside made easy individual economic sense. Imagine all that without regulation.
