edith vows to be more popular than octomom

May 19, 2012

Ya’ll aren’t going to believe this! I told you about Edith the Bird choosing the pesky neighbor’s driveway to raise a family. Remember? Well… yesterday, right as we were getting ready to spray our drive with weedkiller, ole’ Edith came around the corner mad as Hell.

Evidently, Edith is a busy, busy kildee. Baby round #2 she decides to hatch her little ones right in front of our garage door.

We can get the car out of the garage. If it’s daylight. And if we can see to maneuver around the nursery. But seriously, how many batches of children does one bird have? Especially when she’s required to deposit eggs that are half her size for crying out loud! I guess after vacationing down south all winter, the dudes expect the females to reproduce. And, it was pretty cute to see her last night with two babies (one didn’t make it) under her wings, and all three of them keeping the new eggs warm.

But that ain’t all…

I don’t even LIKE birds that much! Now, it’s like Erwin’s Hatchery out here. **sigh**
