I found out the hard way this morning that the
birds had been busy knocking at my front door.
Well, not knocking exactly. But
nesting.
My son opened the front door this morning to
step outside. When he did, a small egg
dropped and splattered just inside the front door.
It was then that we looked up at the wreath
hanging on the door and noticed a small little nest, tucked in between the door
and the wreath.
Bummer. I
didn’t think they would choose a location that we happen to use pretty
regularly.
Now I’m sad that we didn’t know they had a nest
in there and an egg. I wonder if they’ll
continue to nest there or find somewhere else
.
I’m a little relieved that it wasn’t already
hatched and a baby had fallen to the ground.
I would have been more hysterical.
My son took it pretty well, better than I did.
We cleaned it up and shut the door. Now I will look for the mama bird to see if
she comes back and wonders what happened to her little baby. And I’ll have to be more careful using this
door.

Birds did the same thing to the wreath on our front door. I was also very surprised that they would pick a location like that for a nest. We use the front door pretty often. We had no eggs or babies in the nest, so I moved it. Birds never came back though :(
She chose a very pretty place for her nest!

I had thought they were visiting to take bits and pieces from the wreath for their nest somewhere else. Obviously not the case. :-(
It is a very pretty wreath! Sad about the nest.
I have a nest on my back porch and one over my front door's frame. Fortunately, they're high enough so we don't risk egg or baby bird damage. One of my favorite things to do in the spring is find hatched (robin's) eggs. Love the color! I have a little collection going.
