I few weeks ago my wife came in from outside and told me she noticed a birds nest in one of our tall bushes. Turns out this was right by a window where we could peek out and see it without disturbing them.

 

I am amazed at how the nest is layed out in such a perfectly round cirle and made very thick with all the little sticks...even some computer paper guide hole strips made onto this nest. I don't think a hurricane could topple this nest

 

Anyway, while the mother bird was gone I took a peek and noticed 3 blue eggs. The male and female birds took turns laying on them. After some quick research I noticed they were american robbins. I was amazed at how they shared the duties of keeping the eggs warm in shifts. Too bad some people in this world can't act this way with thier own kids.

 

Anyway, today we noticed 3 little peepers in the nest when the momma bird came back to feed them. Cute as can be....little fuzz balls. After she left the daddy bird came in and nested to keep them warm.

 

Just thought I would share.....happy spring :)

We had some too, hatched last week. Fried up really nicely.

This isn't as neat as that, but the other day I was sitting in my car waiting to go meet someone for an appointment. There was this bird that was sort of hopping around on an area that was covered by some pine straw beneath a large tree. I didn't know what the hell he was doing at first, but all of a sudden he takes a few hops to his right, and fires his beak into the pine straw in an instant. Next thing I know he's got a worm in his beak and he flies up into the tree. I thought that was pretty impressive that he could target that worm, buried in the pine straw, from several feet away.

Something tells me you've partaken in the Filipino delicacy known as 'balut'.

Is that the practice of baiting a guy who gets all dewy-eyed over little baby birds that stand only a 50% chance of surviving out the next four weeks?

 

If not...then no. :) But we do have a next of baby birds outside our window we've been watching. I just didn't feel compelled to post about them...for the same reason I didn't feel compelled to discuss tupperware with JSP: I'm not a !@#$ing chick. :lol:

I'm at a complete loss here. What's the proper response to this bull sh--? Should I use the more subtle "I'm rubber, you're glue..." gambit, or go directly for the throat with "I know you are but what am I?"

 

Does anyone know the proper etiquitte for trading insults with a six-year old? I haven't done it in decades.

You getting the feeling that...oh, I don't know...maybe he's overreached himself a bit here? A little overmatched? I'd have more of a challenge frying up those baby birds outside...
