Extra mothering


I am not sure why, it could be that I have a little open mouth to feed of my own, but I am really in love with these little birds. I love to watch them through the peephole in my door. It's a little voyeristic I know, but I am okay with that.

I wait for mama bird to show up and feed these little guys. I worry when I haven't seen her in a while. I keep worrying that we have somehow put our people smell out there, and she will abandon them. I am trying to not use the door at all, but there are occations when it has to be opened.

A warm glow just overcomes me when I see their little beaks being filled up by mama. Or just seeing the sleeping bunch of little bodies. How can you not love them when you see the warm glow on this little face?

I am so glad that I am not a bird and that Andrew is not a bird and that I do not need to vomit food into anyone...the way birds do. Yuck! That one was a strange design.... sorry yo. Can't get into birds...maybe for obvious reasons? ahh...my namesake...

hey, how are you getting those pics anyway? I love them!

I usually don't like birds too much either, but when they are on your front door... it's pretty cool.

I get the pictures by opening my front door and taking a picture. =)
