I previously posted about this little hummingbird that has made a nest in my backyard patio for the third year in a row. And since I don’t have my dad to share these with anymore, I decided to share with you all. I HAVE AN EXCITING UPDATE!! Rosie Pearl’s babies have hatched!! Meet the little twins—with eggshell still in their tiny feathers. 😍 Rosie is being a good mom and making sure to keep them feed. Both pictures are of her feeding them. ❤️

Today's #Project365 centered on two fledgling House Sparrows I saw placed in a dark corner by their mom before she left them...

"Lil bro, I got a bad feeling here. Mama ain't coming back."
"How'm I the lil bro? We the same size."
"Point is, we gotta get our own food now."
"Oh, wonderful, just how I wanted to wake up today."

(They did eventually go to the feeders on their own.)

Two baby House Sparrows sit in a dark corner of greenery where they exchange increasingly nervous glances. You can tell their age from the bit of bright yellow to mark their gape. I saw their mother guide them there before she went to the feeder, but she never returned. Photo by Peachfront. Dawn, May 4, 2024.

this Apr 2011 photo is my screensaver on my new PC

i've published it many times (inc. to sites who paid me like Inquisitr & Medium) & seen it stolen many more times but if you've missed it, here it is again paywall free

you can read more abt my encounter here (no paywall) vocal.media/earth/blue-throate

current info here abt supporting the recovery of this critically endangered species armoniabolivia.org/

This is a photo where you are looking through the opening into a wooden nest box where three large blue-throated baby macaw chicks are looking up at the photographer. They will soon fledge but you can still see many white areas where there is only baby down but their heads and wings are already well feathered. Photo April 2011, Loreto, Beni, Bolivia by Peachfront.

Hey, #bird Mastodon, I have a nest of five almost-fledgeling baby finches living in a nest built in a hanging fern on the front porch.

Is it plausible to put up a net (or one of those sweater drying racks) under the basket to protect them?

There is nothing soft for them to land on if they were to er... flop out - it's just six feet to the pavement on my porch, or nine feet to the pavement on the sidewalk below the porch.
