Two summers ago a house martin's nest was damaged by heavy wind and rain on the side of our house and we found four tiny little baby birds in one of our flower pots. We tried to do all we could for them but they all died too within a few hours. It is a very sad experience but new babes were raised in that same next and have been in consecutive summers so all turns out good. Lovely picture of you with your girls!<br />Thanks for the wonderful messages you have left with the arrival of our new little treasure!<br />Have a lovely weekend, sweet mama!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803468440764742603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-89809905468443976452010-05-06T19:27:18.272-07:002010-05-06T19:27:18.272-07:00Oh Jen!

Sometimes, mine seem more o.k. with things like this than I am! <br />It is hard to know what plan life has when we can't see the whole picture. I hope you have a few successful babies that flutter off from the nest. :)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761169843156290087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-24139178600360587102010-05-05T01:46:24.098-07:002010-05-05T01:46:24.098-07:00I'm sorry, that's a sad way to start the d...I'm sorry, that's a sad way to start the day. How nice that you tried to put it back in its nest.<br /><br />I know my munchkins have been so touched by nature's deaths that they have held funerals for spiders, earth worms (forgotten in the sun in a shoebox) and baby birds. We have quite the cemetery dedicated to animals in our back yard.<br /><br />Better luck to the remaining feathered siblings.A Homeschool Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601636901131690015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-5387767142003653342010-05-05T00:50:18.415-07:002010-05-05T00:50:18.415-07:00Oh my gosh, Jen.

It was still soft so I know it happened moments earlier. It makes me so sad and I often wonder if it's all the environmental toxins that are either deforming the birds or perhaps there are too many babies hatched in the nest? I can't see how many there are, but I wish it didn't end so tragically for those two tiny cuties :( DH had loosely boarded up those areas with chicken wire so that we wouldn't lose so many during the fall and faulty nests, but two found a way in and made nests, so we removed the barriers so they wouldn't get injured getting in or out. Sigh...just have to build some bird houses, I guess...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272157134061700589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-87182204501631206512010-05-04T13:55:06.421-07:002010-05-04T13:55:06.421-07:00Yes it is so true that Mother Nature knows best. ...Yes it is so true that Mother Nature knows best. cheers Mariesofteartharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527736727793111902noreply@blogger.com
