Baby Birds!

Hmmmm . . . baby things just poppin' out all over. You wouldn't be trying to tell us something, would you?
 
The retirement community where my mother lives is overrun with cottontails. Opinion there is fiercely divided with the majority sharing your opinion and mom's side muttering under their breaths about the damage to the landscaping, the holes nibbled in the lawns, the mess all over the sidewalk. Still, it is hard to deny that baby bunnies are definitely cute. Even the grownup, frying pan size ones are.


Usually, though, I can overcome my sensitive nature by meditating on Cajun fried cottontail.
 
We have beautiful trees in the backyard.
Once I had pigeons birth on my balcony. The babies were NOT cute. They looked like little skinheads ready to peck me to death in true Hitchcock fashion, when they got older. A bird ran into our window today, I think it lived. I am not sure I wanted it too, it was a pigeon for sure! Ever hear of the cuckoo bird? Now there's a manipulative little one! They lay their eggs in other birds' nests, the chicks will hatch and grow faster than their foster-brothers, kill them, and get all the food until they're three times larger than their idiot foster-parents...
