hayden and i made this bird house last year. we made it as a project. you can see its lost some of its cute decorations. anyway....we have a feeder hanging from the bird house; which you cant see in this picture. i took the feeder off to fill it with food, and a bird came flying out right at me. it scared the shit out of me. but im thrilled! i had no idea a bird would actually move in. they must have known how spoiled our animals are, and wanted a piece of the action. anyway. it turns out that they built a whole nest in there, with twigs and leaves. theres a baby in there, who pops his head out and the mother comes and feeds him (or her.) you can hear them talking to each other. the. cutest. thing. ever! i asked hayden to name the birds. he named the mommie bird "anya", and the baby bird, "minnow". i have no idea where he came up with those names. but arent our house guests soooo cute!? *update....hayden just changed the babys' name to "minowanna". i dunno....maybe its an american indian bird!? which is cool...because were all about world peace and acceptance of all cultures and creeds; living together in harmony. we did at one time consider adopting a child from china. we never thought wed get an indian bird instead! thats ok tho. its cheaper, doesnt need a college fund, and we didnt have to travel around the world to get it!
** second update.....dan just said that "minowanna" sounds like "marijuana".

What were the names of the pigeons that made a nest on your balcony on Martel? Sam & Libby? The little one in that birdhouse is so adorable! Didn't one of your (many) psychics say birds had a thing for you?
I love your bird, and the birdhouse! Of course they want in on the action...
