Mystery Monday - Adopted/Foster Pets

Don't be alarmed, I did not really adopt any pets.  It's some form of adoption because these birds love building their nest in the front of our house.  There's a beam right as you come in the area where the front door is located.  We have tried to put a rock, a ceramic bunny and other items, but they still manage to make a perfect nest.  Usually Jeff finds it too late as the eggs are already laid.  
Jeff was able to take a photo while the mother was away getting food.
This past weekend Jeff started hearing some tiny high pitched bird sounds.  He decided to check it out.  I sort of knew that it's probably been hatched or something because a couple of days ago, each time I leave and each time I come back, the mommy bird would be flying out of the nest and sometimes too low, I feel like I am being attacked.  So as you can see there's five eggs.  Now check out the latest photo Jeff took yesterday.
If you can zoom in, you can see that there's actually five baby birds.
Adopted pets or foster pets are great because they are there but they actually take care of themselves and when they are ready to fly, they all leave and Jeff get's to clean the nest.  This is actually the second family that has shared our front entrance.  There are no tenants in our back yard because our big tree is filled with branches and leaves.  No sign of Ted and Sylvia until maybe the winter months.
