They made a nest in 2020 in a hanging Ikea lantern, with a pane of glass missing, and they have come back twice now. I was completely obsessed that first year. Less so last year. And this year, I still enjoy it I guess, but it&#8217;s kinda old news now. Plus it&#8217;s pretty gross. I have puppy pads underneath the nest for the poop but it&#8217;s like okay go fly away now birds, enough with your poop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do like seeing the little baby birds. They are cute in an ugly sort of way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Year 3 pandemic birds\" class=\"wp-image-2862\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are at least three. I didn&#8217;t name them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> there are four. Four baby birds. I saw them all today when mama bird was feeding them. House finches, they are. Four baby house finches about to leave the nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE 2:<\/strong> two birds left the nest. Two remain. I call them Ryland and Ryland 2. He doesn&#8217;t think it&#8217;s funny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE 3: <\/strong>the remaining two birds left the nest. They were gone when I woke up this morning. Just like that. And on the same day as Ry&#8217;s last day of high school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third year now, I have baby birds on my balcony.
