Hatchlings

LOL yes, I stroke them and loved on them for a bit I worried my companion actually, I went to check out the dungeon and didn't come back, because I got distracted by the baby birds. He started panicking lol

Sounds like something I would do but intentionally instead of distracted accidentally.

Yeah it's amazing how fast they grow. Wished I knew what kind of bird they are. The momma is a small brown colored bird with a lighter belly. She moves prety fast too thats why I'm thinking sparrow.

I have several nests -- barn swallows??? -- and It seems they grow from hatch to fledge in 2-3 weeks. Have a few too many now but they DO eat a lot of flying bugs, it seems.

There is a newspaper box next to my mailbox (no longer used) Last year a nest in it and I saw eggs, hatched then gone. This year, when stopping for mail, I heard the chirps, and inside there were 4 open mouths. Shortly after, gone, maybe 2 wks.

These eggs were tiny and pale blue.

Last week I opened the door to call my husband in for dinner. I saw something darting about outside and thought 'butterfly'. Oops, shut the door quick!! It got into the house.

I was at work one day last summer - major meeting. I get an alert from my alarm company that there is movement in my house. I asked if one of the doors was breached and they said no. That worried me even more because we don't have alarms on the windows...but we do have a motion alarm. I'm thinking that if the doors weren't breached that someone went through a window and was inside my house. I came home, my son came over, we both examine the exterior windows and didn't see anything so we unlocked the door and started looking. There was a little bird shi__ing… while sitting on the back of the recliner - scared to death! It got in through an opening around a window unit in an upstairs bedroom. Sheesh - scared the heck outta me and that bird was glad to get outta the house.

I always feel so sorry for the birds that get into grocery stores - so many things to frighten them, and they usually end up far from the doors and utterly lost.

Our local TSC always has a few resident birds.....but our Walmart - has bats!!
