...The Robin's chicks are getting big fast! The nest is almost eye level, very close to my workspace. We are pretty used to each other by now, i have even softly touched their feathers a little bit, and Mom didn't even yell at me, just watched nearby. She does fuss a lot when my cats are close, though! Don't worry, i keep an eye on them, but for the most part, they don't realize the nest is up there. When the chicks fledge and leave the nest, the cats will be "grounded" to the house!
Am i this excited about ALL baby birds? i have to admit that i am - i know this happens millions of times, but i love it. (Well, baby HUMANS are born almost as often, and everyone's always excited about THAT - hey, babies is babies!)
The bunnies are a little different story - I have been alarmed by the screaming of a bunlet ( not sure what baby rabbits are called!) when Skeeter finds the den! Yes, the rabbits cause some plant damage, i should let the cats do what instinct tells them to do, but i cannot hurt any babies!
Anyway, Skeeter, being an indoor cat, doesn't quite know what to do with them - at least long enough to give me time to rescue them! So the babes are safe for now!
