Birds nest on my balcony

The incessant chirping made me look harder.

Oh gosh.

A mummy bird had made her nest between 2 outdoor airconditioning compressors .

For the next two weeks or so, we relied on fan power. If we had switched it on, the babies would have perished from the sheer heat alone.

Other people would probably have destroyed the nest for fear of mite infestation . But we didn't do anything.

Twigs, grass, all in one huge big ball ! You would have thought there was a baby eagle in there.

Then one day, a crow attacked and 2 of the cutest, tiniest little birds fell out.

I shooed the rascal away but held back from touching them . Always refrain from handling baby birds no matter how heartless it seems . Never ever interfere or they might not survive.

Today, one finally flew off. I managed to snap this just before the second offspring took flight.

See, there's a whole lot of waste and grass with seeds,all courtesy of the hardworking parents.

The clearest picture of the lot. Don't know what bird it is, but the underside is a greenish yellow and it's got white markings on its beak.

One strong gutsy little birdey.

Don't know if they'll ever return but I think their mom panicked when she found them both MIA. 

She's quite a songstress but this time she kind of sounded urgent as she called out to them.

After all the fun being nature's host, it's time to wash up.
