OMG — you guys, they’re BACK!!
Yes, my favorite little house finches from last year! They came back! And it looks like they are already scouting places to build a nest again in the exact same spot as last year. Stupid birds, why would you want to build your nest right next to my front door. It’s definitely not a private location — I can stare at them from the window right besides my front door. Which I obviously do because some days there’s just not a ton going on during a pandemic…
I took a ton of photos of them today. And there was even another bird “couple” who looked like they were checking out the same spot for a nest and the first finches had a little bit of a fist fight while they were all in the air. At least I thought that it was the first set of finches, it’s not like they carry bird ID cards, or anything like that, but my husband read somewhere that they can come back to the same nesting spot for years.
Today I told my husband that I want to turn our front door camera so it aims on the light fixture next to the door so we can watch recorded video of the birds while they are building their nest. He was not amused…
At least the birds came back! Spring must really be here. My husband said he’s not going to allow them to build a nest there again this year, that he’ll just keep removing the nest. He’s just no fun. I need my bird entertainment — it’s better than television!
