We have a family living in our mailbox, a bird family. I noticed a bird bringing pinestraw in the newspaper slot of our mailbox a while back, but didn’t think anything of it. Fast-forward a few weeks and Katie reaches in there and pulls out eggs, which she dropped in the street. I was heart-sick for the mama bird. Fast forward another couple weeks and Scott hears chirping coming from the mailbox. Lo and behold, there are at least 2 baby birds. Here are pics.
Do you see the itty bitty beak in the back? That’s one of our babies. You can’t see the other ones. I think there are three. Most of my friends know I rather dislike birds in general (since the blue parrots flew at my head at the Aquarium and tried to kill me 12 years ago and the seagull flew in my car at the service station in Brunswick), but this is just sweet. I hope they learn to fly before a big storm enters the gulf, because we’d have to take the baby birds with us for our evacuation vacation. I should write a song called “Evacuation Vacation.” Shreveport is always our evacuation vacation destination, in case you’re wondering.

We had 2 families of birds in our hanging pothos
outside under the patio. There were 5 eggs in there at one time color blue and white never did see them fly away. We’ve also had at least 2 bluebird families in the bluebird box. It’s so neat. I’m not like my daughter Kerry, I love birds but I’ve never been attack by one either.
