i have an illegal squatter living right outside my apartment. a tiny yellow breasted bird decides to built a hanging nest on the plastic plant right next to my door. yeah.. plastic plant cuz both me and mom don't have the green fingers... hee hee.
she built her nest slowly and patiently, till it form a cozy little resting place. i never seen her, till one day when i came back from work, thought i saw a sharp beck protruding out from the nest. i had to look closer just to be sure of its occupant. there she is, all quiet in her own world. i was too excited i ran in the house, came back with a little bread, poking it near her beck only she must be shaken up by my sudden present that she flew away. but, each night after that, she will be resting in her hanging nest, hardly moving, asleep not bothered by me opening and closing my door. seeing her there on a nightly basis, gives me comfort. sometimes, i wonder what her day was like...
one evening, when i came back from work, i found a dead baby bird on my doorstep. not sure if its belong to mama bird (for reason it seem she not in her nest), i picked it up and buried by the potted plant. the next morning, she came chirping away. mom thinks she's looking for her missing baby... sigh... i feel sad for her.
one weekend, when mom and i came back from shopping, i would have sworn i saw small baby bird in the nest (momma bird must be out looking for food). excitement gets the best of me, i left tiny pieces of bread near the nest, while all the time thinking the nest looking so fragile i was afraid it will fell off with all the new weight in that small nest. so i decides to outline the hanging nest with a first aid gauze just to prevent it from falling off. i was pretty please with myself. i thought momma bird will be pleased too. the next day, as i was being nosey thinking i be seeing the baby bird in there, only to find momma bird looking back at me and flew off the nest. she must have felt i was going to harm her. each night i came home, i was hoping to see her tiny beck protruding out from the nest only to see its empty. she's been gone for more than 4 days now...
i miss my yellow breasted friend. i wish she come back. i want that comfort of knowing she is safe. all i wanted to do was taking care of momma bird and her baby. i hope she come back soon....
