i'm a grandma or something...

okay, i'm not really sure if that is what i mean. remember the birdy eggs in our bbq grill? well, they hatched. i was so worried about them. i was wondering if they would ever hatch. i wondered if my rowdy boys had scared ma and pop away. well, i walked out there to get my lawn mower going, and i took a peek. i saw two naked and wriggling babies.


i will admit, i started to cry. where were the parents? these babies were just going to die without them. i was so upset i called my mom. then i called big d. then i went out in the front yard, away from the grill, hoping momma bird would come and feed her babies. when big d got home, i sent him out to get a picture, and to retrieve any dead bodies. to my surprise he came in with happy news. 2 babies were doing well!


and when i peeked in today, two hungry naked babies were squaking. is it bad that i love that?

we need to get some close-up video too! i wonder if the other eggs will hatch...

those beaks still weird me out. they are so much wider than their heads! it is easy to see in the bottom picture. especially the one looking down. you see the back of its head, on on either side, the beak sticking out. the giant closed eyes are kind of wild too!

Wow. That is so crazy and cool that you get to watch it all firsthand. I'm glad they're alive!
