Good afternoon Pops and friends. Saturday I saw 2 little baby birds in the yard. I figured they fell out of a nearby small tree from the recent storm we went through. I thought about leaving them alone but then pictured them being a cat’s next meal. The mama bird would make a racket when I got close to them. I pulled some Spanish moss from a nearby tree and made a nest. I put the birdies in the nest and put them up there. Mama bird went right to them after I backed off. I checked about 30 minutes later and they were on the ground again. My nest building skills need some work.
So I got a plastic container, drilled some holes in the bottom, placed a couple shop towels on the bottom then Spanish moss to make it look somewhat like a nest. I put them in that nest, mama didn’t make a racket this time when I picked them up. I found a better spot that looked more secure. Yesterday I checked on them off and on. They were still in there and most importantly Mama was feeding them. If this nest doesn’t hold up, I’ll screw it to tree next time. I know they’ll jump out of the nest someday soon but at least they’ll have a fighting chance with a few more feathers. Hopefully they don’t come back when they’re full grown and decorate my pickup truck. It’s Monday, make it a great day
. If for some reason I saw that they were not cared for then plan B. Whatever that may be 
That had me in stitches.
