OK, My birdie watchers....Sad times have come...the birdies are 17 days old....they'll be leaving the nest very soon. This is probably the last pics I'll be taking. Now that they have gotten bigger when they see me... its "Stranger Danger" time they sink way down in the nest. I don't like scaring them so I'm keeping my distance. They sit on the edge of the nest and really flap their wings and stare out into the wild blue yonder...I expect them to fly a way within the next couple of days.....It's really sad knowing it's time for them to leave. I've really enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching them.....Then again good riddance! they have really mad a mess on my shade and screen...LOL!!

Hello my birdie watchers....
First off.. 4 eggs were laid 3 weeks ago and only 2 survived....SAD NEWS, I know!! The 3rd egg hatched but theres no birdie...I don't know what happened and the 4th egg is still in the nest unhatched. Anyway...heres an update on my two grandbirdies..they are 8 days old since hatching LOL!! they are still fuzzy and they have their eyes open now and BOY! can they stretch their heads up now when Momma comes to feed.  It looks so cute when they are being feed, you can see two bobble heads above the nest...ROTFLOL!!!

I know its hard to see - the nest is brown and so are the birdies..
