The last couple of days we have noticed a couple of birds that keep sitting on the basket of forsythia flowers that I have hanging on the front door. Yesterday, we noticed that they were actually starting to build a nest, so Nick took all of the grass and twigs out of the flowers. Today, the nest is back and even better. I decided that I am not going to try to fight the birds. I am going to let them keep their nest in the basket, unless they start to make a mess all over my front door. They are cute little brown birds with a red chest. I am not sure what kind of birds they are, but they have a really neat song that they sing. I'll let you know when we get some eggs in the nest.
