A few days ago Jimmy discovered this sweet little bird family in the tree by our front door. Within a matter of days they went from a squeaky-chirping little bunch like this:
to full-fledged little birds learning to fly. This poor little fellow could see and hear his mama sitting up on our roof and he tried his hardest to fly up to her. It was all I could do not to give him a boost (and I was kind of annoyed with her for letting him struggle so much in the face of danger; the danger being five of my kids, along with some neighbors, cheering him on). Eventually we tore ourselves away, hoping that some privacy would bring the two of them back together.
We love our bird families and look forward to seeing who comes to visit next.
