Baby Birds




A mama bird made a little nest in our shed. She chose a small galvenized bucket that I had hanging on the wall. One week ago, the nest held pink speckled eggs. Now, it holds, what looks to be, 4 baby birds.









The bucket was up higher than I could reach, so I just aimed the camera, pushed the button and hoped for the best.

These babies are very quiet, except when the mama flies in with food for them. I'll try to get another pic at the end of the week to see if they have grown.

Does anyone know what happens to the eggshells after the birds hatch?
