I would never make it as a bird. The stress of keeping the eggs warm all the time would be too much for me.
There's a robin nest in my backyard right now (right in the middle of my $50 fuschias lmao) and the Mama Bird gets soooo flat to cover all her babies (three of four have hatched) and I wonder
is she having to hold a squat over them
Like now that they're hatched presumably she can't just sit on them??? They need room to move around??? But maybe the feathers are enough room and they can kind of swim through it? Anyway she's been doing a great job sitting even through the recent wind and rain storms and every time I walk past I tell her good job
A picture of our pidgin, Aubrey, who has been dutifully sitting there for weeks and I'm not even sure she has an egg but by god this is her nest and she will sit on it.
Mr Aubrey also takes a turn sometimes. We can't tell them apart really. But they swap over a few times a day.
It may take you a moment to spot her, but the strip of white on her neck gives her away :)
