What will they be when they grow up, Spoonman?

let's see. that looks like it was taken in a nest that is located on our gazebo. So they would be robins

Oh, Spoonman, they're so precious. They're so tiny and PINK. I'd have never guessed their type.

here is one of those babies just out of the nest

Thank you Spoonman. They certainly don't look like the grownups, but this one reminds me of what's important to them: "EMP - TY!!!"

its funny because no matter who gets close to the nest the mouths open. they don't care if it's their mother or not

 

[Spoonman]

this was from the last lot they had this year. this year they had 3 rounds of babies

Well, send them over to my yard and help with the grub population eating my little acre of St. Augustine grass!

(I have never used pesticides, and it takes a while for the local birds to catch on).

get yourself a container of earthworms and let them go on your lawn. a healthy worm population aerates the ground and attracts birds

some more robbins

Earthworms? Will the earthworms eat the grubs?

i've noticed they are a lot more human tolerant early in the morning. but it seems as the day goes on they become even more skittish.

I agree, they are hungry, they want the goods and used to go between the two feeders I would have up. To hear one whizz by and feel the wind caused by their wings is something very unique and fun.

in the summer i eat breakfast on the deck every morning. this is usually around 5:45 - 6. they are out there buzzing around. they could almost care less I am there.
