So I went to my grandma's house, and she has those hanging pots on her deck. Well, a robin had built a nest in one of them, because there weren't any flowers growing in them, and laid her eggs. The eggs had hatched and the baby birds were laying in the nest, opening their beaks in hope for some delicious, gooey wormies.
We first saw the mama sitting on them to keep them warm, and then when we got closer, she flew away.
So today, we went back because my mom wanted to pick some raspberries from grandma's house, and we saw the nest, and the mama robin was sitting by her babies, and they were much bigger than last time. Not fully grown, but bigger and adorable.
When we stepped closer, the mama flew away, like always, and left her babies. I stepped on one of the chairs to get a better look and take a picture.
First off, some advice, never go near almost full grown robins and their mommy.
Next thing I knew the baby robins flew out of the nest and the mama flew over TO the nest, hovering in place and squawking like we had just took her babies from her. She looked like she could have killed us!
I just kind of looked at her in shock, wondering if she was going to get any closer and possibly peck my head off, but after a moment I didn't want to wait around anymore. I got off the chair and ran inside.
I had no idea the baby birds had learned to fly so quickly, especially since this was only about a week after they were tiny ugly babies that barely had any feathers.
So turns out, I didn't get a picture, but I sure did see a mama bird look like she was about to either crap more eggs out or crap on me or poke a hole in my face.
So don't go near baby birds. No matter how cute they are. Just- just don't.

This reminds me of the story where my cousins, aunt, and uncle were in Hawaii and a bird pooped on my aunt's head and my cousins we laughing and she said, "Stop laughing! You're making a scene," when she was making the scene.

Hi Papad, long time no see. ^-^ (It's GreatShot, BTW). I would go to you on AJ but I haven't been able to get on.
DeleteA bird pooped on my sister's face once. I didn't get to see it but the story was pretty funny. :D

ReplyDeleteI remember one day, my dad was in the car with the sun roof open. (This was when he was a kid.) He was just staring out the window when, all of a sudden, a bird pooped on his eye. But he had NO idea! My aunt (his sister) was laughing so hard she was crying while my dad was like, "Is it raining? I think I just felt rain!" XD
