Aren't they sweet? The nest is build in a great spot in our fence. We can get close enough to see but not so close that we scare mama away. She actually sits on our neighbor's fence (about 2 feet away) when we look at the babies. Remarkably tame.

They look so adorable when they stick their little heads up for food.

I love little baby birds. I had a pair of finches that put a nest on top of the post that holds up the awning over my front door. I checked up on them constantly, and always worried when the mother bird left. I am pretty sure everbody was fledged safely, but my husband put a walnut up there so they wouldn't build another nest so I wouldn't spend all my time worrying about it. :rolleyes:
 
We keep checking on them, too! We've also got a pair of cardinals in the front of our house. We've been leaving them seeds & they come right up to our window. I guess my bird is "putting out the word" that this is a bird-friendly place to be. She can be heard squawking from outside...lol
