There is a nest of Carolina wren's in a plant pot on my porch. Four tiny birds just hatched. So fragile. So tiny. I am confident they will be safe - animals do not often sniff around on my porch. Oh but I worry anyway. Maybe it even will be the snake that we rescued from being tangled in netting last week. Cruel world.

An instagram friend was clearing boxes out of his garage when he discovered a Bewicks wren nest. I long for the crows to break into my apartment and build a nest on top of my fridge. Sadly, I don't think that will ever happen.
I hope the snake doesn't eat your wrens. Maybe you could leave him a note. Or a pile of cute squirmy pinky mice because what a world, what a world...
Ha! I honestly am more partial to mammals, and have always liked rodents, so it would be hard for me to sacrifice the mice. The little birdies are doing well thus far though, knock on wood. I will tell the local crows to use the Midnight Caw system to spread the word that you are offering a rent free nest space. The bats might intercept it, but beggars can't be choosers ;)
Yeah, sorry, the pinky reference was a sort of morbid joke. I could never have a pet snake, unless it liked to eat kibble. I like them, though.
Thanks for the Midnight Caw!! Please no bats. They need to stay at the park and eat the mosquitos.
I like a good morbid joke. And I frequently answer to them in a serious way and people don't know how to take that. Have I mentioned that I am socially awkward? :D
The bats said they would only stay in the park if you say abracadabra fifteen times while doing a handstand during the first full moon after the summer solstice. And only if there are fifteen human witnesses. I'm not sure why they like the number fifteen so much.
Tell the bats I am absolutely happy to do that for them, not a problem at all.
My therapist refers to this as authenticity.
I like your therapist.
Me too!
