家有喜事

You see the bird's nest at the top right-hand corner of the picture? A pair of small birds has been using it twice.
The first time, the egg was found smashed on the floor after a stormy night. Blinky got so excited that he went to lick at the smashed eggy mess! YUCKS!
The second time was last week. After yet another stormy night, a dead baby bird was found on the floor. This time, Blinky was not interested at all.

This week, a pair of large green birds (they look like green pigeons) began to visit our bamboos. Here you see the female bird.

'Good Fren' and I found the husband bird aka Mr Bird to be quite boh-chup. He spends most of his time away from Mrs Bird, only bringing back 1 twig a few times per day, while Mrs Bird spends her time roosting in our bamboos.

I must say the lousy husband bird has done a really skimpy job with the nest. It's just a messy gathering of twigs. I'm sure he is currently DOTA-ing in the neighbourhood bird lan-gaming centre.

I spent like 10 minutes taking pics of Mrs Bird this afternoon. She didn't move. I wondered why.

Then, late last afternoon, I realised that Mrs Bird had gone out, and made a crazy discovery!!!

OMG?!! A huge white perfect egg?!!
This explains why she didn't move when I was taking her pics! She was freaking in labour!! I was so invading her private moment!!

Now I am even more worried about the half-fucked nest. The egg looks like it's gonna roll off the nest anytime.

Let's hope this egg will hatch and the baby bird will survive.
