A haven for baby birds - shows a healthy and friend garden Pixi

very nice, thanks Sticki, i know what's been coming into my garden now,, last few days.. :-)

thanks all...unfortunately the last fledgling was totally stuck..so I managed to free it..but i think its wee leg might be broken.. I have it in a cardboard box in the kitchen and are waiting on the RSPB tp arrive to see what we can do. The lone parent is still feedling one of them in the tree..but i think the rest maybe dead. Next door's cat was out on the prowl..i said to neighbour could you keep him in and he jsut laughed!!! i was mad!
anyway we shall see hwat happens next. GLad i got some pics. :)

What a day you've had, Pixi. I think you must be exhausted after all that. Hope the news of your wee birds gets better.

I think you need a cup of tea to unwind lol but it's good that you are keeping an eye :o)

video of the wee one going free :)

Phew Pixi, what a day! Glad his leg isnt broke, I do hope he survives poor little thing, what an ignorant neighbour you have (fatboy lol) have you calmed down yet?

Indeed it has been! Hope so too..not seen any sign of any of them ladt 2 hours but its raining now so they are prolly hiding in the bushes. lol no its not fatboy its the other neighbour.l.i was shocked at him! Calm? not yet lol

Lol, I was high all day when the little darlings in my garden fledged, and distraught, saw it all again a few weeks ago when the magpies raided a blackbird nest in the ivy, the poor parent birds were trying in vain to attack it! I just happened to look out of the bedroom window when it was going on puh..
I looked at your vid Pixi, poor little thing,so tiny and frightened..

Awwwww. here were magpies here this morning but i chased them. Shame i couldnt have watched them all day long..but well i guess its nature. no sign of any of them tongiht. Thanks for looking at the video..yes it seemed so fragile i wanted to keep it in the house.

You've done what you can Mamma Pixi :))

Oh my goodness! Pixi, you must be exhausted! Baby birds everywhere - even on the kitchen table! They are so sweet, though...how could you not get involved...

Lil's right! You've done your bit and now the young 'uns will fly the nest. Well done, hen! :)))

Yeah I did all I could..tho I wish I had had an aviary so I could have kept them safe. I think a couple of the babies got eaten by a horrible black cat in fatboy's garden last night. I see the Parent, still only one, flying back and forwards with food to two trees about 3 gardens along from me, so its hopeful that maybe a couple of them survived. Yes was exhausted last night K...didnt sleep too well tho. :)

You cannae worry about them forever, Pix...it's nature's way...x

I remember when Teddy took a whole nest of them...and one of a pair of nesting wrens...it was heart-breaking, but...

oh no! i couldnt bear that! Well this morning I saw Parent going back and forwards from the feeder to a couple of trees along the roads a bit. Think two might have survived at least. Not seen r heard anything else except loads of baby starlings! Dunno what happeend to the other parent either. Raining today so they will be hiding out somewhere cosy I hope :)

TRhey should have just stayed in the box! lol

Now don't you go nailing up the door, next time!! lol! ;)))

Aye I'll need to make another one with a door and maybe a perspex side with a cover over it so i can have a wee peek when the parents are away! :) WIll look inot that!

That might work!
When we had the pottery in an old, but nearly converted barn, there was a 6" plastic plumbing pipe through the wall. It was still covered in plastic sheeting on the inside and there was a hole cut in the plasterboard so you could see in.

But, the bluetits couldn't! They built their nest right up against the plastic! It was brilliant!

How about those tiny nestbox cameras......you,d never get anything done!

Between here and there, Pam...??

...and don't encourage her...! She's bad enough, as it is.
Kitchen'll be full of waifs and strays...and Suki'll be in a strait-jacket...ooh lo lo lo.....

Isn't life hard when you are a back-up mum for young birds?

lol K! Aw that sounds great in the barn :)
I was thinking of one of those camera ones for next year actually Mrs K! lolol
Yeah if my house was bigger and I had the time and money i would prolly have a wee sanctuary here lol :))
Keep seeing the lone parent coming back here getting food then flying over to the trees along a bit form me..so hopefully some are still alive..not seen them :(

Aw Pixi, what a stressful day xxx

any more lol, great job : )

any more what?

well done btw

lovely and lucky you Pixi, havent seen any fledgling here but im sure they are hiding from casper :O))

Hmm..no more blogs..I was going to but i wont bother now.
No more fledglings either

I've been playing catch up and going through your blogs my blood pressure is sky high lol. Poor you, we all feel for you. The birds liked your box and will return so take care and try not to worry.

Thanks for taking the time :)))))

I loved reading them. Great blogs.

THanks :))))))

Pixi, just catching up with a week of blogs - I was stressed just reading your stories - can only imagine how you must have been feeling!!
After reading all this I'm not sure I want my wee bird box to get residents. Well done on capturing the events :)))

THanks Angie:) Feel sad now..not seen anything more of them :(

I haven't seen blue tits in the garden for over 2 weeks now Pixi......do they go away? I have put out plenty of sunflower hearts as it's their favourite and still they haven't appeared :(

I have seen the lone parent..but not for a few days..last time I saw it it flew away about 6 gardens away to a tall tree. I dont know what they do lol
Yeah same here..all their fav seeds and peanuts etc..oh well. :)
