First Time A Bird Swooped At My Head!

in birds •  7 years ago 

Never had a bird swoop over my head before. These small birds called Rens build a nest in this miniature guitar we mounted to the side of the shed. The made a nest last year but never stayed in it. This year they stayed in the nest and now there are baby birds in there!

They never bothered me or squawked at me much before. I think it's 'cause the baby birds are getting bigger now. The Rens go inside the guitar to feed the birds whole insects! It's neat to watch them but now I know to keep my distance. When I walked past the nest the small bird swooped right over my head!! I felt the air as it went over from this bird!! The next time I walked by it swooped down and actually made contact with my head as it did!! Wow.

I hope the baby birds get out there sometime soon. Must make sure the local cats don't get them. I made the neighbour put a bird bell on his cats. I'm really happy these birds nested here! It's been fun watching them. I'm glad the plants in the yard are maturing and we are attracting more birds. It's real neat!

It's @transcript-junky, the "bearer of JUICY free gifts"... This one is RIGHT down your ALLEY, @havok777 : http://backyardbirding.us . I believe that this new post of yours is ANOTHER step in the right direction away from "...took another nap to escape the crazy society..." to something more along the lines of ... "found something HOPEFULL right in my own backyard..." I think this is a good focus - as it is for ALL of us. This reminds me of the work that @violetmed is doing with her exploration of butterflies, their lifestyles, and the environment/plants they interact with... Please continue with this type of exploration...

I was interested in butterflies when I was younger too, this type of thing helps bring me back to childhood interests, which is good. I like the fact that we made this whole garden where the birds now come to! There wasn't a single tree or bush in the yard when we started, now it's attracting more animals! I like that. One year I even saw a lizard! Cool 'cause I don't usually see them around here. Next step is to build a bird bath.

Beautiful and amazing post @havok777. I really loved your post.
Very unique and attractive. 🤗

Thanks for sharing this post.

Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for the appreciation!

The birds are beautiful How many children were there in bird nest

I hear many bird voices in there so must be many, like over six

birds increase the beauty of the world....so don't kill any bird and don't broke any nest
