We had some little visitors stay with us on our porch for about a month or so. One day I went on our porch and found this in my bike helmet. I guess we dont ride our bikes enough :)
Then we saw the mommy and daddy dove come sit on their babies everyday. Their sitting schedule was quite regular. As soon as we'd get home from work, we'd sit on the couch and wait for the trade off. It usually happened between 5:30 and 6pm every evening.
And then one day the eggs hatched... and then they grew and became these little birdies.
Then one day we noticed that one was gone. It was time for these little birdies (or chickens, as Jason liked to call them) to grow up and leave the nest. We were lucky enough to catch the last one as he flew away. He jumped out of the nest/helmet to the bike and then flew away from our little patio.
We felt kind of sad when we came home from work and didnt have our little birdies to watch anymore. But it was fun while it lasted. We were happy to have them. And yes I did get a new bike helmet :)
