4 babies

these little birds are cute, in an ugly kind of way.  
they spring up every time we open the door:  beaks opened upward, assuming the stirring of their nest is their momma bringing food.  nope.  just us.  in fact, we rarely see momma bird anymore.  we just see the bird-poop all over the nest and can only assume it's hers.  i hope momma bird is out scrounging for worms.  i hope these little guys get strong enough to fly away soon.  then i think i will have to trash the wreath.  and i hope momma doesn't come back to build another nest on the next wreath.   it's too much stress for me; cute as it is.

I totally get that. You can only hose off so much bird poop before it just isn't redeemable. Yet, this is one memorable spring for your guys right?

PS. I am a fan of birds, once they get enough feathers to cover their skin! Eeeeeew!
