I noticed a week ago that there were birds coming and going in the basket. There was a time there were 2 of them. One sitting inside the basket and the other perched at the edge. I have wondered if these birds were just visiting or resting.A couple of days later, as I was going out of the door to the patio, a bird was flying towards the basket. As she or he took sight of me, it took a detour and landed on the wrought iron fence. It waited there for a while. I looked at the bird and I noticed that it was carrying, in its beak, a piece of twig. It must be refurbishing the old nest then, I thought to myself. It is the same kind of bird, a pigeon.
Days went by when I took a peek at the basket and there was a bird inside. It seems it's laying eggs, just like the other bird. My basket is a popular place for these birds; and they picked the biggest one. They must think it as a mansion. I have other baskets on that same pergola, but they are smaller.
Here is the new tenant, caught in the act of laying eggs!I'm now giving this basket to the birds, it's full of poop anyway. LOL

he he he ... just think, mari, you're providing a mansion to a homeless! lol
our feathered friends are so cute, aren't they? maybe a hummingbird will occupy the smaller basket, one day. i'll stay tune ...
your patio has become a B&B for birds, how cool is that. keep us posted with the goings-on of your new occupant/s :)
thats totally cute.... i think birds find nest wherever they think that nobody will harm it...
and i think they've notice and empty space inside your basket that boom... its totally no down payment for them...hehehehe.. so without any word from them.. they occupied it.. hehehehe...
wanna exlink with me? i'll link you NOW in my list, link me back here
amusing! pang-ilan na ba yan? maybe the mommy birds have been talking about your place. your patio is a hospital, and your basket is the delivery room :D
haha, that was cute. Siguro yung mga first occupants have been promoting your maternity basket to other preggy bird lol!
nance,
My patio is a shelter for the homeless. LOL
There was a hummingbird last year, but it didn't come this year. They come every other year.
photo cache,
It could be a B&B for them. LOL Yup, will keep you posted.
jeff & nova,
Yes, they like the place. It's roomy and the interior is nice, it's color coordinated. LOL
Yeah, will link you.
lady cess,
Yeah, word got around about my nice roomy basket and it's free for the taking. LOL Pangalawa ng pigeon ito. Last year there were 4 nests in the nooks and crannies of my pergola. They were the smaller birds...sparrows, I think.
Katuwa, Cess, para ngang delivery room.
nona,
Siguro nga. LOL Sabi siguro, duon maganda ang maternity ward niya. LOL
Salamat naman at nakalusot ka ulit. Mukhang maluwag na ngayon ang mga Tsekwa. LOL
I think this is the same bird Mari.... I've noticed few same color patterns on its feather at the back.... This time as a new tennant, they should sign an agreement ha-ha....! =D
wow wow! that's a good deed. im suddenly thinking of getting some baskets for our home... hehe... :P
This is a she definitely!! Hope she stays and lays eggs regularly:-) Male birds sing/call more and longer and female ones are rather quiet.
Mari's sanctuary, let's call your place.
Thanks for sharing with us,
NIni
pepe,
Ang bilis naman. But you could be right. I'm happy that they're in my basket and they are safe there, away from the reach of predators.
nini,
Yes,she could be the female one. Let's hope she's a regular user of the basket. Her eggs are safe there, away from lurking predators.
Mari's sanctuary would be a good name.
Thanks for your visit.
tina,
Get the nicest and biggest basket you can find. I have smaller ones here, but they're not interested. LOL
Thanks for the visit.

vicki, dito na lang tayo mag-chitchat, i'm sure, mari won't mind. very seldom akong magbukas ng blog ko eh. laging blazy (busy/lazy) ako lol. sa tagalog ay makakalimutin ang forgetful. o sige, when you remember kung ano sa visaya ay let us know.
welcome back. spring is the best season, for me, so enjoy it immensely.
nini
vicki,
Mabuti naman at nakapag-blog ka. Oo, pagmaganda ang panahon masarap ang mamasyal...take a walk in the park or the woods; listen to the birds and watch other creatures around.
Mabuti at nagkita kayo ni Raquel. Wala akong kilala diyan sa banda ninyo. Si Nance at Nini ay merong mga kamag-anak diyan kaya siguro puwede mo rin silang makita, balang araw.
Take your time to blog. Family first before blogging. He he he
Sige, Happy Mother's Day to you.
Salamat sa bisita mo dito.
nini and vicki,
Sige, puwede kayong mag-chat dito sa blog ko. Gusto niyo ng kape at cookies. O halo-halo kaya?
LOL
Hi Mari,
Hows the birds and the baskets na?
I remember my former veranda.my mother(while visiting us) gave the birds food everyday so they gathered and made our veranda their meeting place.one day,i was just surprised to see the poops in there!whoah!it took a lot of time for me to clean the mess,haha!
pero nice and kind people lang daw ang dinadalaw ng birds :)
ghee
ghee,
Yeah, they leave a lot of mess. I haven't cleaned the basket yet, and another bird came to poop in it. Now, I've decided to give it to them.
Kung ganoon pala 'nice and kind' tayo. LOL
o nasan si vicki? nakita ko ang halo-halo so i came back.
alright, balik ako pag dating niya.
nin
Happy Mother`s Day,Mari!!!

ganda naman ng istorya ng mga boarders mo..it's really nice that you get to see their progress.
me, the isles &...,
Oo, nga. Would you believe I have another occupant right now? My guess is that the eggs have hatched already. And there's a hummingbird's nest a few feet away, as well. Katuwa silang panoorin.
Thanks for the visit.
