baby birdies

I am the proud new parent of 6, yes six, brand new baby birds. They are of the non-descript bird genre & they live in my bathroom window. The slatted window panes that cover my bathroom window are missing a top slat, and apparently while I was away on spring break, two birds decided this space between the glass & the screen would be a perfect spot to raise some children. At this point they have all hatched and they are unbelievable!! They're like tiny little see-through organisms with appendages and little tiny not-yet-developed wings, covered in fuzz. I love them!! I'm nervous about how they're going to get out of that space once they are ready to fly away, but I figure the parent's wouldn't build a nest in a spot that wasn't a good idea. So I'll leave it up to nature to work itself out. In the meantime, I have six little babies. Here are some pictures.


Here they are a few days ago. They grow so so so much everyday. Sorry, its a hard angle to take a good photo and not just see the screen. Anyway, you can just make out the oldest one's bright orange beak. He's waiting for mom to come back with some food. Aww so cute!! And still some of them haven't been born yet, you can see the last two eggs right there.


So fuzzy!
