Yaaaaaaaaay! I like this thread, Hooray for Pandora!!
I love my birds Mildred (Budgie) and Lyla (canary). There was a George (Mildred's man) and a Big Bird (Lyla's squeeze) but unfortunatley (*big sigh*) they went to heaven. Cool thread!

I miss my canaries... Hershey... he was a brown canary and Tweetie Bird ( of course)... their singing so lovely
and my budgie.... Mister Smee....
these my kids grew up with.
its really nice to have a bird or two or three in the house
Yesterday we noticed a Robin nesting in the pine tree right outside our living room window. The nest is fairly low down and you can look right into it from the window. We saw mama sitting in it, and later, when she flew off to feed, we spied an egg. Today, there were 2 eggs. The kids are super excited! We gave them a huge lecture about staying away from it. We do not want the birds to abandon the nest and leave the eggs...will robins do that? I hope to get a photo tomorrow.
Today we saw 3 eggs. We did a little research and found out that it will be about 2 weeks before they hatch. Guess there won't be that much birdie news until then...
Thats exciting and wonderful for your kids.
I do think Robins can be a little more picky about being discovered so be wary.
Our carolina wrens are so bold,
they nest everywhere in the strangest places and really don't mind an audience
season after season we enjoy!

We have many young at the feeders now... they are on their own,
Mom and Dad having done their job.
They are getting their big bird feathers and look quite odd and gawky,
its hard to know just what bird they are!
They are fun to watch too being quite clumsy
A Robin built a nest in the wreath on my front door! Yesterday the 3 babies left the nest.
Pretty cool....we have a little decorative birdhouse next to our front door....for the second year in a row, we have Carolina wrens nesting in it.

A Baby Birdie Story
Last Friday as I floated in the pool
I heard a big splashing in the cement birdbath
at the edge of the garden by the pool.
It was a Bluejay really enjoying an afternoon bath.
Very nice technique
On the retaining wall sat a baby Thrasher watching intently.
When the Bluejay finished he flew to a tree to prune himself.
The baby Thrasher hop/flew clumsily down off the wall
and ended up under the birdbath,
trying to figure that out, as his aim not so good yet.
He turned then towards me...
spotting the biggest birdbath ever...
the pool!
He hopped over ... peep peep,
hopped along the edge of the pool
peep peep,
until he sat directly beside me.
Peep Peep!
He began to take a pretend bath on the pool deck there with me...
peep peep peep.
He went through the motions on dry cement
all puffed up and goofy
but really also
he had some very nice technique
until Mama showed up with a mouthful of lunch to share.
She guided him to a nearby tree, that silly little baby of hers.
I hope she gets him to some water soon....
and yes, I guess,
they are born with the notion.
