My New Babies...

[belvak]

Mama decided to set up housekeeping under our deck... In a joist...

Mama knew a good thing when she saw it!! The feeders are about 15 feet away!!

 

[sweetpea15]

what kind are they?

 

[belvak]

House Wren or Carolina Wren. We haven't seen "Mom" up close and personal. Most likely, a House Wren. Aren't they cute??? I want to love them, and hug them, and squeeze them... Oh, nevermind...

Bird Babies

OMG how cute! And you get to watch them develop and grow!

 

[belvak]

They're getting bigger!!!

 

[pixiegirl]

Birds give me the creeps!

They do have those evil looking beaks, but you have to admit the babies are cute!!! Just get over the Alfred Hitchcock thing!!

I think it only takes like 14 days for them to grow enough to leave...

We normally have nests in the hanging plants on our porch. I checked last week but there weren't any. Will have to check again to see. I like when you make sounds and all their little naked heads pop up with mouths open waiting for food.

I'm not sure that house wrens eat seeds and grain. I think they are insect eaters.

 

[belvak]

:shrug: Well, Mom & Pop are definitely little brown birds, and they eat LOTS of seed!! I'm pretty sure this is either Mom or Dad.

They're getting bigger!!!

Almost big enough to bake into a pie!

How gorgeous!!! When I first read the thread title I thought it said 'My new boobies'. Well I thought. o.k . Then I realized it was babies!

Well the chicks look like the color of a house wren, but the bird at the feeder I believe to be a chickadee. Not that any of this really matters though.

Do you have a board pulled up to look at them?

In english, please? It's not a Chickadee, it's a Carolina Wren.

I think he was asking about your deck - did you pull up a board out of the deck?

Oh!! No, I did not pull a board up. I went under the deck, used my amazing "bend my body into a pretzle shape" abilities, and pointed the camera in the general direction of the nest! Got lucky and actually was able to get pics!! I didn't bother them last night, but will probably try to get an updated shot this evening or tomorrow.

Since the opportunity is too good to pass...

my amazing "bend my body into a pretzle shape" abilities

What else are these amazing abilities good for?

And have you ever photographed it?
