The Wild Life and Times of a Botanical Geek

HOLY CRAP BLUEBIRDS.

Casually gazing out the window not fifteen minutes ago, my Dad noticed something blue perched outside the birdhouse we put up a couple months ago. Five minutes of debating and a pair of binoculars later, we confirmed that it was a BLUEBIRD OMG. Cue Mom and I lapsing into fits of happiness. All three of us turned into horrible voyeurs as we watched it inspecting the property. It kept sticking its head in, then poking it out again, over and over. I can just imagine Mrs. Bluebird (who I believe was sitting in the tree above it) going "Honey, is there a lot of space?" "Yes, dear, there's plenty of space." "What about the floors, are the floors in good contiditon?" "Yes, dear, there are good floors." "Have the walls been painted?" "*sigh* No, dear, the walls are fine." And so on. XD

We're a little concerned, though, because we know some chickadees took up residence earlier in the spring. We haven't seen them in a while, so we're not certain if the chickadee chicks grew up, or if they abandoned the nest, or what, but we haven't cleaned it out, so we're worried that the bluebirds might seek housing elsewhere. So, we figure the easiest thing to do, just in case the chickadees are still there, is go to the nursery and get another bluebird house. So we're going to a plant store. Oh DARN. XD

Either way, the bluebirds are still around. Joy and bliss! <3 <3 <3

Also, first we had Star Trek vs. Internet Cats, now we have Star Trek vs. The Python Boys! I'm so easily amused. XD
