Yep that is right we will soon hatch 7 babies! Baby birds that is. One day Ryan came home and told me that a bird was nesting on our door behind our wreath! I saw the nest and couldn't believe it! We took a picture and found out that there are 7 eggs inside that nest.
Every time we come home we have to watch out because the brown sparrow takes off at full speed. I now walk in as far to the right as possible and scrunched down to avoid collision with the bird.
Ryan e-mailed Tracy Aviary to see if they had any recommendations on how we might move the birds. This was there reply: Thanks for your note. What a nice little surprise, although quite inconvenient when trying to sell a house…. If you can, you should try to leave it alone and alert any possible visitors to use another entrance (maybe through the garage?). My guess is that the eggs will hatch any day and it is only a few weeks before the little guys will fledge. After that point, they will be mobile enough to move.
Good luck!
So we are hoping that in a couple of days the birds hatch and we will get to hear the sounds of 7 little birds chirping for food. Now I know that I need to take down our wreath after Valentines day or we might continually find birds at our door!
