Don’t Tell Me About “Birdbrains”

I’ve had a healthy respect for birds for a long, long time. My parents had a Parakeet when I was born that lived until I was almost 16 so I guess that might explain a lot of it.
A week or so ago I noticed a Robin’s nest just over an outdoor speaker. By the time I noticed it, these guys were already thinking about leaving…
Were they safe in there? I think so!
I was amazed at how HEAVY this nest was. Not only is the nesting area itself almost perfectly round, if you look to the right-side of the nest, you can see the “wall” Mother Robin built to brace the nest over the speaker and against the brick wall behind it!
You can say what you want about birds, but I think they are amazing creatures. From this little Robin familys’ temporary home to geese that somehow manage to keep their goslings together in urban areas. Calling someone a “birdbrain” might give them more credit than they deserve!!
