Foster Dad

Yesterday, the girls were playing in the backyard. They were out there for a few minutes, and Briana came tearing in the house, hollering for me. She said "We have baby birds!!!" So, of course, I ran out to the yard and she showed me two baby birds and one bird egg in the grass. Mike came out too, and saw that there was a nest in the tree that was tipped over. There was just these two bald babies in the yard with their mouths wide open.

They are seriously the cutest things ever. The girls both wanted to bring the baby birds in the house, and we would take care of them. We couldn't do that, so Mike looked online and found out that we could make a new nest for them out of a butter container and put it back in the tree and the mom would still come back. There was also one unhatched egg and Briana got to hold that.

This morning, Briana went out and checked on the birds, and she said they were moving, so still alive. I checked on them this afternoon, and this is what I found:

Seriously. That is the cutest thing I have ever seen. And look at that nest!
