Our new baby birds are here......

Here are our new baby birds just last week......look how tiny they are. There ended up being 5 instead of 4 like I thought.

And look at them now, just one week later. There is almost not enough room in there for all 5.

And here they are even more close up, aren't they cute......You would not believe what we've done to accomodate these birds for the past week. First of all, the nest is in a dead plant that I've had sitting on the table on the back porch, well since we were having Alex's birthday party outside we had to manage somehow cleaning the porch and not disturbing these little birds. A few days prior to moving the birds, we pushed the table they were on over close to a stack of Tidy Cat buckets we had stacked in the corner of the porch. We let the mama bird get used to the table being moved first before doing anything else, then we moved the whole plant from the table to the top of the buckets, luckily the mama bird didn't have any problem finding her younin's. So, even during Alex's birthday they were out on the porch and when it would kind of clear out, here would come the momma and daddy bird to feed the babies as we sat there and watched. Now the question is, once these birds get big enough to start trying to fly, how are we going to keep Dillon away from them??? He already chases the momma and daddy when he sees them land on the back porch. I will be absolutely devistated if I go out there one day and see one of the babies laying on the ground because Dillon tried to play with it............
