Creative Nesting Place

Yesterday husband discovered that a pair of small birds have made a nest in this blue backpack that I hang on my bike outside the house. While tidying the compost area, he noticed daughter was throwing sand into the backpack and went to check it out. It was then when he saw the nest and hang it higer on the lamp post so that daughter will not be able to reach it.


In the backpack is a nest made out of dried grass and leave and lots of seeds from the bird feeder.

There are five brown speckled eggs in the nest and one of the birds was sitting on the eggs when I took the photo. It flew out when the camera flashlight went off, but I'm sure that it will go back to the nest later.

Allah SWT willing it will be so exciting when the eggs are hatched and little tweetings come out from the backpack. We are unofficially adopting this wildlife family and will continue to provide bird seeds and shelter for the parents.
