Our Birdhouse on the porch is having a particularly busy year. Right now, it has its second nest this year in it! When both parents were out I snapped two quick pictures. I think there are at least four noisy babies in there and the parents are in and out all day. I can actually hear the babies chirping from inside the house and unfortunately, so can my budgies but that's a different issue.

I think they are a kind of sparrow but the parents have been coming and going so much with all those mouths to feed that none of us have been able to get a clear look or picture.

Lucky you! What kind? Look like baby thrushes. ( maybe remembering the name wrong..)

I managed to get a better look at one and I think it may be a house wren. The beak and tail position are similar. They say that they have two broods a season and sometimes even 3! That sounds like a lot of work for those poor parents. Those babies are demanding. I can't believe how many bugs they are finding .

That's Delightful...I love your bird house...thank you for sharing

Aww they are soooooooo CUTE!

I'm really jealous right now and the birdhouse is gorgeous

Thanks! My sister actually painted that years ago. The sequins were not initially intended to be part of the project

Bird parents are definitely very, very hardworking! I don't think I could do it, haha.
They are so cute! Love that you can enjoy them by your house, that's very cool.
Thanks for sharing!

Haha, I would not last long as a bird parent. I don't have the coordination to those moving beak target :laughing:. I'm not sure if it's sight but I got them a bit excited when I took the picture because of the shadow I assume as I repeated making a shadow over it two more times and they got excited each time and they do not sit still when asking for food.
