Can you believe this, two posts in one day! I was over at a neighbors dropping off cookies their little girls helped me make last night, Emma came running in the room and wanted me to come outside and see what she found. It was a little hummingbird and was so cute. The bird wasn't doing so great so we took it inside and made some sugar water. We called another neighbor who knows a lot about birds and she told us to try and get the birdie to drink the sugar water and hopefully it would come around and fly away. Most likely it was stunned from fling into something like a window. I always thought that was just a windex joke and didn't really happen, I guess I was wrong. We spent the next thirty minutes holding the birdie in our hands and feeding it sugar water. It slowly came around and then flew off. The kiddos loved it! They had fun holding the birdie, nursing it back to health, and then watching it fly around. Their Mom took some pictures. I'll get them from her and then post them!
Speaking of birds, we have a huge Robin Egg nest in our grill. We noticed it after their were already eggs in it and didn't have the heart to throw it out. The birds should hatch in a couple of weeks and we are pretty excited. The neighbor girls love coming over every couple of day's to check on the birds. I do have some pictures of the nest, enjoy!
