My Birds

I just had to write about my birds. A few weeks ago as I was playing in the backyard and some birds started to build a nest underneath the patio roof. When my mommy and daddy saw the nest, they told me that I was going to have baby birds. I was so excited!!!

Anyways the birds finally hatched and they chirped away. My mommy said that seeing how I let the birds build a nest above my pillow they were my responsibility. I was to make sure all the birds made it out of the nest safely.

This weekend the baby birds started to leave the nest and fly away. It was very exciting watching them take off and get up over the fence. But there was one baby that just couldn't quite make it over the fence. His daddy was trying so hard to help him, but he just couldn't make it. So, I decided I would chase the baby and that would give him the nudge he needed to get over the fence, but my mommy and daddy yelled at me to leave the bird alone. I wasn't going to touch it; I just wanted to help him get over the fence because it was my responsibility.

Later my daddy came out and did the very same thing I did and scared it. He then gave the bush a little nudge and the baby bird finally made it to the top of the fence. I'm not sure why I got in trouble, but I was O.K. because my mommy gave me some treats and kisses, so I know I am good girl.

It was such an exciting day watching the babies fly away and the humming birds feeding. I hope that I get some more baby birds, but they sure are noisy when you are trying to get in a good afternoon nap!!!
