A pair of birds nested in an abandoned nest in my mother's backyard. My mom says the nest was left there by other birds, and these birds just added their own fresh poop and set up a nursery.
They took up residence in a potted vine-like tree plant. From the front, the nest is completely hidden, but from the backside, we can get a great view of the babies. The backside is a window, and the birds don't seem to mind or even notice that my nosy face is literally inches from them. The babies are funny-looking, wrinkled things, like little tiny vultures. Their beaks are outlined in a wavy bright yellow sash of color; it looks like a clown's mouth, only yellow instead of red. We counted four baby birds!
