Guitarzan Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 the last week or so we discovered a birds nest in our hedge. in this nest were 5 lil guys. we have kept watch on developments each day. my wife has acted like the grandma, always checking. well since this morning they each left one by one. until only one was left. he was a little slow in taking the plunge. we were outside with the camera waiting for him to earn his wings. we have a few pics of him moving from branch to branch until he was ready. but at last he did it and the nest is now empty. pics will follow. we must be bored. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will
A String Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 We used to get a nest of starlings on our balcony every year. The babies would grow up and come back and have their babies. It was really neat to watch them grow up every year and see them come back. What kind of birds were they? Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music
Caevan O'Shite Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Actually, that's great, 'Zan! Sure beats watching re-runs of loads of lameness on TV. Hmn, you had your own private little nature-documentary goin' on there... Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _

fantasticsound Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Looks like a Finch to me, but then, it's Canada........ G. Tastes like chicken... (Sorry... that was so totally wrong. Earlier this summer Lilly and some kids at the community center found a baby bird that had apparently fallen from a nest tucked into the roof of the building. She gave it water and mashed up bugs to feed it. (I kid you not.) She took care of it most of the day until I arrived and had to inform her there was nothing we could do for it. I couldn't bring it home even if I had the ability to properly care for it, which I didn't. I certainly couldn't send it back to the community center with her every day either. In the end I had her put it back where they found it. (They had brought it to a more sheltered area.) I expect it became cat food. I didn't relish leaving it to the elements and predators but there was no returning it to the nest. Sad. Glad all yours appear to have survived to flight. Great pics, too. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd

Here in Canada we call them "Les oiseaux qui boivent du sirop d'érable et mangent du bacon du dos", or "Birds that drink maple syrup and eat back bacon". Nah... it's a finch.
