We walked into the front yard to find birds chirping and flying around Callie like crazy.! Was this normal? Were they taunting her? Were they playing with her? It didn't seem normal, so we looked a little closer...and saw a nest of tiny baby birds...that Callie immediately started swatting at! We spent the next week, watching those babies grow and trying to keep Callie away from them (only 3 of the 5 survived but I think Callie only got one of them). Then one day, Tyson and Summer went to check on the birds and saw them wandering around with their mother...all grown up and leaving the nest.
Their nest was in this wild grass area...I was worried our neighbor was going to run over it with a lawnmower because it's actually his property. So weird (and unsafe) that they build their nests on the ground!
Five tiny birds squished in the nest. So tiny and sweet. As soon as you got near the nest they would open their little mouths so wide!
Only 3...but getting fluffy and big.
Our last look at them before they went out on their own.
What a fun little experience for us!
