Brian and I have a family of birds living in a flower basket on the porch. Thought some of you would like to see pictures of them. It's been wonderful watching them grow. Hard to resist petting their cute little heads, but I have. I'll post more pictures in a couple of days.
The nest.

The mother sat on the eggs for about three weeks until they hatched.

The first one hatched on the morning of July 2.

They were all out of their eggs by that evening.

A day old.

Five days old, sleeping.

"Feed us."


Who will make the first bait joke? You guys are so predictable.

I wouldn't say but how is it that Boo hasn't "retreived" them yet?

Hanging basket my friend....these birds are probably in the safest location around. Suspend, pillars that can't be climbed and a cat hating land owner....

I'll skip the issues of being predictable, and bait, but go straight to the

statement. I believe some of us now understand how Brian was able to find and capture such a good look'n lady!

Well that just took a weird tun.

But it helped to make my POINT! Katie obviously made her decision based on moral substance and I concur

What kind of birds?

A little song bird, but I'm not sure exactly. I've been trying to get a picture of the mother, but she flies away whenever we open the front door.

Eggs appear light blue, What color is the mother? Inch size approximation?

My first thought was that it's a mocking bird nest. The eggs are the right color but typically have speckles on them. The flash may have muted them out. If the shells were speckled, that would be my guess. Florida State Bird... Northern Mocking Bird.

Mocking Bird would be my guess as well. Neat to watch them grow.

Bud, you're right! I googled a picture and it is a mocking bird. Cool that you could tell just from the eggs.

if your not positive pinch one of there heads off and and read the label
