I have a bird feeder outside my bedroom window and I love watching the birds. Lately, it's been mostly house finch. The amazing thing. . .
One little female has decided this would be a good nest, lol. I'm really enjoying watching her bring her sticks and wiggle the seed into a bowl and chase off other birds. We'll see what happens. . .
UPDATE: 12:42 pm - She isn't the brightest, it seems for every 2 sticks she brings at least one falls out. And the fellow keeps bringing things, and dropping them. He sits atop the feeder often , I guess guarding her?
Cool.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet....so cool! yay..beautiful! Have a sparkly filled wkd!

She may decide that building her nest in the middle of the dining room table is not a great idea. It is a great photo-op for you. Silly birds.
ReplyDeleteThe house finch male will guard her and the nest and help raise the babies to flight.....Michelle
ReplyDeleteLucky you! What a great vantage point. I wonder if they'll continue to build there or change location.
ReplyDeletehow fun--I expect a full documentary of the nesting/fledgling experience :)
ReplyDeleteA real nature show. :)
ReplyDeleteSeems every species has a few blonde members.
That is hilarious! I have finches at my feeder, too, and none of them have tried that... YET!!! But I've seen them pull some absolutely silly behavior. For instance, those tiny little birds have first dibs over the much larger morning doves! Whodathunk?!?

I hate to mention this but I had those widow feeders, the birds were so much fun to watch during the day - but at night rats invaded then and were staring in my windows! No more window feeders for me!
ReplyDeleteOh ... I look forward to seeing what happens with this!!!!!! I love me some dorky birds. How cool if you get to watch the whole things up close like this!!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have such a closeup wiew of the birds familylife
ReplyDeleteNice birdfeeder, never seen one like that before, would be interesting to try
That is the neatest thing! You'll have a front row seat. I can't wait to see the pictures that you'll be able to get.
ReplyDeletehow cute...
ReplyDeleteIt will be really fun to watch and see if she is successful in building her nest there! Perhaps she is just learning?? Keep us posted!! Chloe is fascinated with bird nests....absolutely fascinated!! She will spend hours just watching the little birds in the nest!
ReplyDeleteOh my. Maybe it is her first time.
ReplyDeleteLOL animals are so funny and fascinating to watch! I am looking forward to reading an update on how this turns out! :o)
