First Hatching

[monk222]

♠
We finally got our first hatching of baby birdies, in the last week or so. Monk was concerned that maybe the nest was too contaminated, as it has taken a while for those birds to get busy it seems, and he had noticed that there would be discarded, broken, tiny eggs on the porch.

This year's birds are a lot more skittish. They will not fly to the nest if Monk is outside at all, even if he is far from the porch. Instead, they break off their feeding rounds, and they will 'buzz' Monk, coming in close and giving him a loud, sharp chirp, as if threatening attack.

But judging by the massive quantities of bird shit that Monk has to spray off every morning, everything is fine.

Thanks, sweetheart! But I guess that means I cannot follow through on my intentions of getting out the beebee gun, drats! ;)

I don't know if I'd call it good luck, but it does sound like my kind of luck alright. :p
