When I was young,...I hope you left the wrens nest. When I was young, a robin built a nest in the window ledge outside my room. I would pull the blind back slightly and watch. She had chicks and I would watch her feed them. <br /><br />They were nearly at the flying stage when all was disrupted by my mother, who flung the window open one day while she was cleaning. I closed the window, and waited because the mother bird had flown away and left the nest. After about an hour, she returned and I got to continue watching her raise the birds for the next week or so. Then, one day when I came in they were all gone. <br /><br />The bad part was cleaning up the nest and listening to my mother complain that "birds carry lice and all kinds of things..." etc. But I'd do it again if one built a nest in my window. It was great.AJF67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07978361292440481897noreply@blogger.com
