I noticed this little feller sitting there by the bird feeder looking a bit disheveled. The pin feathers sticking up on his head, the wing feathers all skewampy. Something told me he was a fledgling. Then over hopped mama.

At first, he just danced around, turning this way and that. I could almost hear her sighing and saying, "Son, open up you mouth! It's lunch time." It was like watching the avian version of "airplane" or "choo-choo train" at feeding time.

"Come on son, just open your mouth and eat already. Do I need to set the timer?"

"If you don't open up right now, I am going to put the wii away for the rest of the day."

Finally, he listened to his mother and had his lunch.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed looking at your little birds! Very cute! Thank you for that.
Thanks so much, Susan! This is the first time I have ever had bird feeders before and it has been such a treat to watch them. Now if I could just convince those woodpeckers to quit making such a mess, I would be set!
