In the fear of turning this into a bird blog, I didn’t write about what happened after the egg outside our windows hatched. Except that he was named George.
George flew away ten days after he came out of the egg so the nest was empty again…but not for long! Mama bird didn’t waste time getting pregnant again (apparently, in birdie world, there’s no such thing as birth control hee hee) and laid two eggs again some couple of weeks back! Two days ago, the eggs hatched – all TWO eggs! I couldn’t help but blog about them.
As you can see, the nest is full of bird droppings. Pristine said she can’t imagine sleeping in a crib with all that dirt from her mother! Ewww. But in the bird world, it is ok – or should I say, the little birdies do not have a choice.
Closer look of the birdies:
I wonder what will become of them a few days from now? They will outgrow the nest and fight for space!
Yesterday, Pristine told me that Mama bird flew out to find food and when she came back, she fed them “mouth to mouth style”. It was an amazing sight to see, especially in the eyes of a child. Also as you can see in the photos, the little birds’ heads aren’t in the same direction, one facing right and the other left. Mama bird sat on them (I hope she’s not heavy!) and a few minutes later, the little birdies were facing the same direction!
Pristine was like, “Whoa! How did she do that without hands?”

Very cute.. Am sure it’s Pristine’s favo past time…
I remember the days when our balcony were ideal nesting place for the stray pigeons… all was well until we were banned from entering our balcony completely – because of their over population. Man it was quiet a fight to win it back.. 😐

Oh they are so cute!! We have a Robin who makes a next under our deck. It is fun watching the babies hatch and grow, and then watch them fly off.

What I can see from that picture is the love of the mother bird to her baby birds.

I love these posts about the birds, don’t worry about ever posting too many for me. I love hearing Pristine’s reactions. I bet she missed George when he left, so I am glad when she got two more little ones to watch.
BTW, I wanted to mention what a lovely photo of her with the book giveaway, she looks very natural in your new kitchen.
