Yesterday, my backyard neighbor asked if I could do anything to help two baby birds at the foot of her steps. Frankly, I did not have a suggestion. This morning, washing dishes, I saw the babies from my kitchen window. I’m grateful they are off the ground. Poor babies!! Will they survive??Â
Three Quarters & Counting 
It’s normal for birds to do that. The babies are called fledglings at that stage. Momma was nearby watching, I promise. Momma pushes the babies out the nest for a few days while they are learning to fly. 🙂
I know about fledglings but this was my first time to see them on the ground–and so motionless. In all the hours I checked on them, I never saw “Mother.”
