Popular Post Winchester21 Posted June 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2017 I have a smoking area in my carport which I use several times a day. About s month or so ago I noticed a nest of Carolina Chikadees nesting like 10 feet from my chair. Typically these birds will find a hollow tree or a birdhouse to raise their young in this area. But this pair choose to remain in this spot Then I noticed an absence of spiders and insects around my fourteenth overhead light. After the eggs hatched they became skittish for a couple of days dive bombing is when I went out to smoke or take out the trash. Now they pay me little attention and will sit on a chair only 3 feet away watching me. I have been putting out sunflower seeds and water for them. They are truly fascinating to watch catching insects and feeding their young. I have almost got them to take seed from my hand but not quite. Still can't believe that they remains this close to so much activity 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorPrincess Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Wow are you able to take a closer photo of them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fly Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Brilliant! I myself have a soft spot for all creatures. All are welcome in my yard. It is incredible to watch nature in full force. My dogs go nuts when the bun bun's are in the yard but when they find one, they are so sweet to them. They just want to sniff and I can only assume they have questions. Birds are also prevalent in my yard and my girls want to discuss territory with them. Love them all!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester21 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 I really like having them around I am going to buy some houses and feeders to try and keep them close by. We have given them the carport until the young leave the nest. Parking our cars out in the driveway They definitely rate a 10 on the cute factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy956 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That's really coolFor the second year now I've had a nest of Robbins to watch while having a smoke. It's really interesting to note how often the momma birds brings in food. Enjoy then, they grow really fast.

Maritimer Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 They should eat from your hand eventually. I had a "flock " of 8 or so up here last winter hand feeding them shelled peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love oiled sunflower seeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester21 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 They have become like pets So tame. They don't like it when I hold the phone up to take pics but otherwise they act like tame pets. I will miss them when they leave which will be soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester21 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 The young are almost 2 weeks old now. Pretty much fully developed. One is trying to fly so they will be gone soon many pleasant hours of cigars , burbon and watching them. I caught a few good pics today of the young birds and the mother feeding them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy956 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The mother bird does an amazing amount of work to keep them fed. Thanks for posting the pics. When "my" robins grew up and flew away I missed watching them, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
