Every summer the birds try to build a nest in our barbeque grill by going in through a little hole in the side of it. We usually catch them in time and throw all the stuff out so they’ll go somewhere else but we missed it this year…so now we have this! Aren’t they cute? There were 4 eggs on Saturday when we found them and then Sunday 3 of them had already hatched. I’m guessing the other one probably won’t hatch but maybe it still will.
So far we haven’t scared the mom off looking at them but we try to not look very often or keep the cover open very long. Jamie’s afraid they are going to get too hot in there and croak – hopefully not! Plus Zeus has discovered them so they are going to have to be careful when they start learning to fly! We aren’t sure how long it’s going to take for them to leave the nest but we aren’t going to be using our bbq grill for awhile!
Hudson loves to tell people that we have “baby birds in our bbq sauce!” He doesn’t know the word grill so he calls it the only thing he knows…bbq sauce!
