From then on, every single day I’d venture outside to monitor the progress.
Unfortunately, we lost one in gestation.
May 29th
I’m LOVIN‘ the fluffy white Mohawk! May 31st
I think Larry there in the back looks like a dinosaur. June 1st
Moe seems almost human here, the way he sleeps with his mouth wide open. He probably has some drool stains on his pillowcase.
Curly, lookin‘ a little grumpy on the left, with his Einstein hairdo. June 3rd


I approached the nest as I usually do to get my daily picture. Apparently, Larry wasn’t expecting me because when I said ‘Good Morning’, I scared the poop out of him…
Literally.…and he TOOK OFF hopping across our front lawn. I get a quick shot of Moe with poo in his eye, and start squeeling uncontrollably as I chase after Larry!
Nate comes to see what the commotion is all about, calms me down, and we trap Larry in a corner.We decide we should put him back in the nest, but we were concerned that if we grabbed him, the human scent would scare away his parents. Thank goodness for cheap Target dinner napkins. Nate figured it was better than direct contact.

Linda - My kids loved this story. They think you are very lucky to have that in your front yard. And seeing what great parents you are to baby birds, I have no worries about leaving Kaia with you. I hope you are still up for it! See you soon!
Mandy - hahaha! What a cute post! I want baby birds too!!!
