If
cats have 9 lives, how many lives does birds have? In the front area
of our house also known as the entry way, up above the rafters, small
birds have been renting a small area. A few years ago, Jeff tried to
place some rocks, ceramic bunnies, pretend nests, etc. Unfortunately,
these birds seem to really like to build their nests. Every season,
Jeff sees them building it, then the mother bird has her babies, and
every morning Jeff hears them crying as the mother looks for their
food. I don't really hear because it's such a high pitch bird sound.
Last Monday on my way out to play golf, I saw something small on the
cement. It looks like it was still moving. First I thought it was just
some feathers. Well, it was one of the baby birds. I called Jeff to
come out and he picked it up and returned it to its nest. During the
weekend, as I was trying to collect our mail, I saw another baby birds,
this time with more feathers. Again, Jeff picked it up and replace it
to its nest. My SIL said that the mother would not take the baby back
because it has some human scent. A friend of mine confirmed the same.
Jeff decided to take a photo to make sure that there are other baby
birds in the nest. Here's the proof. By the way, just a couple of days
ago when Jeff wanted to take another photo, a bird flew out and landed
on the ivy just below the nest. Not sure if that's the same bird that
keeps falling or maybe it's getting kicked out by the mother. Jeff
reassured me that the mother is still around as he hears it feeding the
babies. So they all survived and in the next couple of weeks, they will
be all flying out of that nest. Of course Jeff will clean that are of
the rafters until the next renters.
