Homely Baby Bird

By Lorraine

 A baby wren has hatched from the nest built in my porch hanging basket.  I guess it will take a some time for this little fellow to develop into a handsome mature bird like his parents.

For now he sits with his mouth wide opened waiting for his mama to fill it up and for his feathers to fill in.

 

 

 Oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird

And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
               If you’re a bird, be an early early bird –
 But if you’re a worm, sleep late.
by Shel Silverstein

    How I love the birds–all
    kinds. This little one is
    darling. We had wrens make
    their nest in an old bird
    house attached to our fence
    at the corner of our front
    yard. It was so much fun
    watching them build and
    then take tiny beaks full
    of food to their young.

    I love that poem. I used to read Shel Silverstein to my girls when they were small. And your photos are, as always, wonderful.

    it amazes me just how big the baby wren is…its almost the same size as the mama! she must've laid a pretty big egg! haha 🙂 beautiful photos lorraine, and ur hanging basket is so pretty!

    How sweet! Birds love to build in my hanging planters on my front porch too. They nearly scare me to death when I start to water the plants and have birds flying out into my face! 🙂

    Your pictures are wonderful!
