Baby Birds

Most years we have lived here when we put up our hanging flower basket near our front door we have baby birds. This year we thought we were in the clear since we put it up so late but a mommy came and laid eggs a couple weeks ago. Mommy has been taking care of her and giving her water and the days that have been really hot spraying her with water from a distance so she would cool off. Monday we looked outside and she had 2 baby birds! We have watched them this week and they grow so quick!
Monday... She is feeding one of them in the picture below... From Wednesday (we take the pictures from inside the front window so they are a little blurry, Mommy bird is to the left)
Friday, since they have gotten bigger the mom tends to leave them a lot more. Sunday (They are used to pictures now they tend to come over and look at the camera) we are not sure when they are going to learn to fly but we are thinking they might be gone by this time next week.
