Bird Drama

A family of scrub jays recently adopted us and have been living in our tree.  We didn't know until recently how many babies were up in the nest.  There are three babies. Jeff was sitting outside this morning and looked down on the ground and saw one of the babies on the concrete.  There was another one up on the ground.  We didn't want to touch either of them because we had always heard not to touch wild animals or their mothers would reject them.  We decided to call the only bird expert we know.  Deb has a pet bird and has more than one nest in her back yard.  She told us that we could touch them which is what we did.  Jeff had to chase it a little bit but he picked it up and put it with its sibling.  We have seen both parents feeding both of them.  There is another one that has made its way out of the nest and has been slowly moving down the tree.  They are so darn cute.

 Aren't they cute!

 

 

Here is one of the parents

  

Piper is exhausted from watching us go in and out to check on the family.

 

I want Jeff to build one of these for the next family that decides to adopt us.

 

The Southern California Quilt Run started this weekend and my friends Pat, Maryanne and I hit a couple of shops.  We went here first and along with my bird theme here is a picture of the little kit Cheryl made up.  Cute needle keep.
