Cool!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking....free fertilizer :-)

UPDATE!!!! SHE LAID AN EGG!!!

sweet!

Aww, just single egg? That's unusual. Usually it's 3 or 4. Of course, maybe there are more coming... I know eagles lay their eggs over the course of a week or so.

We have 2 now!!!

Go birdy!!

omg OF COURSE don't remove it. And keep us updated. Have you seen the bird? I wonder what kind it is. I am all excited here, 'cause I grow 100% indoors, in New York City, and this is just WAYYYYY cool for me to see.

Denise (or anyone overwintering their pots indoors) - I would save the nest if I were you, and I'd place it right back into the same pot in the spring, and put the pot in the same place, hoping that this would invite the birdies back next year.

And we now have 4!!!

These eggs are soooo small! I have seen the bird which is small too but i dont know what kind it is. I will try to get footage.

They are a little bigger than the size of a marble.

This is sooo exciting to watch!

I know its so much fun! :)

I've been stalking this thread from the start. It's surprising and a bit ridiculous how exciting this is lol

Congrats, it will be fun to watch them so closely. I'll be looking forward to seeing the hatch.....

Very exciting, please do keep us informed on their progress. I have a family of cardinals that I feed when watering my Hoyas and they follow me from plant to plant. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

I agree; this is the coolest thing that I've seen in awhile. Please keep the updates coming!

I had a Doves nest on my Dischidia years ago. Babies eyes had blue ring around their eyes. It was very exciting to watch them grow.

Those eggs are so cute.

Awwwwww! So cute.

Have you managed to I.D. the parents yet ? I am originally from Boston and they remind me of Barn Swallow eggs with their 'freckles'.

I guess we should ask you about the plant, too, are you able to keep it watered properly and how does 'it' like having tenants ? Thank you so much for this fun thread.

marco

FOUR! How cool. Are they robins? I think robin's eggs are blue. It's so much fun watching baby birds grow and mamas feed them and then watching them eventually fly. It's happened many times over the years on my front porch. Mostly robins, but a couple years ago, I had barn swallows...

Nesting right up in the corner on my porch!! I so enjoyed watching them grow up, mama feeding them, and I was so proud (but also sad) to see them leave the nest. Such fun watching birds grow up and go off to be independent! I never get tired of watching the process...

They are NOT Robin eggs. Im not yet able to identify what kind of bird it is.

Everytime i come around the nest, the mother flies away. lol

I am able to water it properly.

I cant wait until they hatch!

I will keep you updated!

Thank you so much.

marco

And there is the first of the chicks! They are soooo small.

I will get better pictures tomorrow.

Amazing!

Oh my, congrats on your new chick-let !!!!

Awesome, this made my Saturday morning !

Denise, those 4 little barn swallows bring back memories of life on my grandmas farm. Your 4 little chicks remind me of owls.

marco

Oh, so tiny! I'm always amazed when they get bigger and they're all crowded in the nest, and mama still smushes on top of them! So cute! Do any of you watch the Decorah, Iowa eagles?

Check 'em out here

Here is some footage from the weekend. They have all since hatched!

Wow, this is so exciting. Keep sharing!

Thank you for sharing, so cool to watch them....

So very cool! Even if you lose that Fishtail Hoya, it is so worth it!!!!!

They are so cute, thank you for sharing.

Denise, thank you for the link to watch the eagles, plants and wildlife are some of mother natures finest work. Mix the 2 together and I am at 'home'.

marco

Thank you for sharing, that is so adorable! :)

Here is the latest update! I filmed it less than 20 minutes ago. They are growing so fast but i could only count 3 of them. :(they're getting big!

Awww, sleepy little babies. I love their big mouths.

Adorable!!!

So cute!!!!!

What a way to enjoy morning coffee, thank you again for keeping us caught up.

marco

Oh they are adorable, thank you so much for sharing! :)

What a gift for you ---- that is one neat nest ---- the nest style would help ID the birds a bit. Can you set up a time lapse camera thing there? It actually isn't too hard, but it does have to be figured out. We're all wanting so much to see the parents! What an honor for you.

What does mama bird think of you hovering over the nest? I'm always interested in bird behavior. Some of them will dive-bomb and get after you while others just watch. When I had a robin's nest in a Hoya, which was under our covered front porch, mama bird would fly to a close spot when we spent time on the porch. If we would sit real still, she would come back and sit on the nest, but we had to be careful not to be noisy or move around a lot. Birds are very interesting creatures!

Here is another update video. They are getting big! Click here for video.

It would be hard to set up a camera above the nest.

The mom just flies over to a tree in my neighbors yard whenever i pick up the nest.
