This will be the last post about the baby birds because they have all left the nest...and flew into the window well. !
When I got home today Chris met me in the garage...he said "we have a problem, the birds are in the window well".
Two of the birds were in window wells around our house. They were each in a different window. Chris passed the baby (our little bird...Carter) off to me and went to workwith the rake gently trying to rescue them from the window well. The plan was to get them to hop on the rake teeth and lift them out. This worked very well and the little birds were lifted to safety. This of course was only after a few attempts and alot of fearful chirping from the babies we got them out....only after the mom and dad bird went craaaazy flying around us and squawking like no body's business.
After the semi-dramatic rescue...the first little bird took three hops and flew off. The last little bird sat on the rocks in our flower bed. At first I was afraid her wing was hurt but then she took off.
Sigh....
Fifteen minutes later I checked back outside and there's no sign of the birds. I think they are off on their own now. It's amazing how fast they grew.
We really enjoyed watching them with Cole. He was very concerned about them in the window well and kept telling them "it's okay...we'll get you out in just a minute...just relax".
Onto the next adventure.....
