Today’s photo is of my bird friend, we’ve been getting comfy with each other the last couple days and they will now sit in their nest while I sit. The photo I’ve shared before of my peach trees was taken from a balcony on the second story and that’s where this bird is, nestled in an upper corner. Yesterday I had the dog on the balcony with me and he was not chill with our bird friend barking, the dog and bird might not be friends but we still can be. I suspect soon the bird will lay eggs because that sort of thing tends to happen in birds nests in the Spring. At my last house it came with a broken above ground pool where a bird had made a nest in a support pillar. I took a photo of the babies that hatched from that I might be able to find. After the chicks have left the nest or by Fall I will probably remove the next from this location, otherwise birds will continue to build new nests on this old one and eventually damage part of the house. I had thought about putting a bird house in the same location to see if someone will pick up residence there, we’ll see, for now I’m happy to make friends with the bird pal and hope them the best of luck this year. Once I’m done here I’m going to see the bees, we had a couple days of cold temperatures and will see how they’re doing as well as restocking their food. The bees have likely continued building their hive in a way that is contrary to what I’ve provided them and I’ve got some ideas on how I might rearrange things once I’m in there to encourage them to build on the frames without destroying the work they’ve already done.
