Here is something interesting I thought I would blog about since I have my blog for this week.

For the last three years, there has been a bird (I don't know what kind) that has built its nest inside the mailbox of our house. This mailbox is a small, rectangular black box latched beside the front door of our house. Why the bird decided to build its nest there, I have no idea. But I guess the bird wasn't bothered by us or the mailman too much.

The first year that she build her nest, she wasn't able to complete it. The second year, she completed the nest but didn't lay any eggs. This year, she got her nest built and laid her eggs, which hatched into four baby birds. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the baby birds myself before they grew up enough to fly on their own and leave the nest. I work five days a week and on my two days off I'm either sleeping, on my computer, or watching TV. Which leaves little time to guess a mailbox full of birds, I suppose.

Here's is what I think is the funny part of this story. The Mother Bird left the nest when here babies did, meaning we had a empty bird nest sitting in our mailbox now. My Dad went and pulled it out of the box, and found something interesting in it when he did. He found a card with a phone number to a landscaping business in the nest. It was as if the bird had left that card for us, to let us know that it wants us to work on our front yard for when it returns next year. Not that our yard needs it, as it looks very good IMO. But I guess the bird didn't think so.
