    an update to my bird situation, for anyone that cares.

    despite the shoddy nest this bird made, and all the abuse the weather dished out..... this poor fucking bird took one hell of a beating..... the eggs hatched last night. 2 of them. And they're doing just fine..... no feathers yet, and look pretty rough, but starting to peep for food, and there are 2 grown birds looking out for them.

    They seem to be okay with me, because they leave the nest when I come out on the deck to check on 'em..... they've been watching me, and I think they know I'm not gonna mess with 'em.

    So anyway..... so far so good.

    not sure what kinda birds these are, but they're green and roughly about the size of the smallest cell phone. Maybe smaller. Roughly the size of a Hummingbird, but they're not Hummingbirds.

    pretty small.

    and there ya go.

              The National Audubon Society has a number of books on birds that might help to identify them.

                      too many birds out there... better ask some locals.

                          thought about it, but I don't wanna get too close.... don't wanna piss off mama. There's a bunch of these little green birds living around here, mostly in my Hibiscus..... and this one nested right over my deck.... not sure if that was smart or dumb yet.... lol

                          but I don't wanna fuck with them while she's still defenseless.

                              AMP, What you can do to help the birds;

                              Go to your Laundy area of the house collect lint from the trays and Lay the lint outside in a dry area.

                              The bird will soon see this nest making material and rebuild the nest with it.

                              Don't worry about that human smell rumor. That was a myth.

                                  Seriously! For example, Do you realize how many different types of swallows there are? It's mind boggling, I tell ya.

                                      The only green bird I can think it could be is maybe a love bird..not sure what breed lives in your area..do they look a bit like a little parrot?

                                          my girlfriend works for Countrywide..... and it's no bullshit. Anyone that's done any home buying or even just looking, knows.... Countrywide is one of the best.

                                          Just trying to give her a bump. She's still getting started over there. But she's got 17 years experience in mortgage, and now being on the Countrywide team..... there is a mortgage you can't go wrong with.

                                          Just trying to help my girl out. That's all.

I don't spy on them with binos.... I just like birds. I like having them around, and making them as comfortable as I can. Food, water.... whatever I can do.
