So whats the status on that last bird. By the way, this is a great post!!!

txusa03 · 06-07-2007, 08:18 AM

I think the other 3 might have been lunch/dinner for some cat but I hope I am wrong.

I didn't see it elsewhere when skimming the thread, but those birds are Mourning Doves.

When I stepped out the door to check the nest a bird flew out. I figured it was one of the parents. But there wasn't any baby bird left in the nest.

Would the parents come back and stay with the nest after all their chicks are gone?

Maybe that was the last chick that flew out of the nest. If so, it seemed to fly pretty well.

Do you know about their breeding habits? Like when chicks leave the nest? How long parents care for them, etc?

The eggs from the first picture look more like robin eggs, and the chicks look like robins too, but the pictures of the bird that was laying on the eggs in the nest are clearly mourning doves.

I think you are confusing my photos with scott's photos.

Discovery channel thread ftw.

iatacs19 · 06-07-2007, 02:50 PM

Well what asians eat is swallow's nest. The swallow makes the nest from the spit of the male swallow and it is a delicacy.

Charge Scott for three counts of negligence!! Faulty hanging of flower pot!!

j/k

hope the little dude makes it..

Fortbimmer · 06-07-2007, 04:24 PM

Okay, I feel obligated to add to this post now. I was cutting my grass the other day and this duck came flying out from under a bush in my back yard. Look what I found

We've already named them, Louie I,II,III,IV and Dewie I,II,III,IV and Huey I,II,III,IV, that should make 12.

And if that wasn't enough, there are these 2 doves making a nest right outside my home office window in the gutter (that pile of stuff in the corner). So while I'm slaving away in the office and browsing e90post.com I watch these two make a nest. Unfortunately, if we get a big rain these guys will probably go down the drain.

Sorry for the big pictures, I'm a rookie at this.

iatacs19 · 06-07-2007, 04:46 PM

Fortbimmer,

We expect a full report with pictures.

From egg to flying goose!

Fartpimpson · 06-07-2007, 05:42 PM

WOW, a bigger nest.

Fortbimmer · 06-07-2007, 09:27 PM

I wonder if I can file all these guys as dependents on my tax return next year.
