Furriends, the countdown is on - only one blue egg left to hatch.
And look: Daddy Blackbird is helping feed the chicks too. Now that they have hatched starts the critical time concerning the Magpies. Maybe the chirping attracts them. Mom is determined to defend the featherless feathers.
She got some larvae at the pet shop today to offer to family Blackbird. With the wet weather there should be plenty of Earthworms around but she says she wants to offer some support. Gross! Thanks mom, now that I know what these birds feed on I don't even want to eat them any more.
What's in the bag on the left you ask? Water fleas as a treat for our Fischies. Extra gross!!!

Those birdie and fishie nibbles sound disgusting! Best to get other sorts of treats :)
Oh babies!

Your Mom is the best! Now, we hope you got something from the pet store as well...like treats or a toy.
Aren't you glad all your friends do not eat your food!
How fun to watch these sweet little birds over the summer.
Goodness... your mom was brave even touching the bird and fish food ~ haha!
Happy Weekend!

Interesting Food !
I feel lucky to be a cat, I think our food looks more yum !!
How cute! So good of your mom to offer backup support.
Chase the magpies away, LISF!
Oh this is so exciting!
Blackbirds hatch bloo eggs? We didnt know that. We thought they were all from robins! Cool...
Birdies eat worms?? Ewwww!
Maybe I'll just forget you told me that...so I can go on dreaming of birdie treats.
Hope the little ones all thrive!

Our gerbil buddies Bert and Ernie's favorite treats are freeze-dried mealworms! I guess lots of things like to eat worms.
Ew, better eat temptations instead :-)
The treats sound ... erm ... well ... put it like this .. we prefer Temptashuns!

that was really nice of your mom. :) i sincerely wish the best to the Blackbird family!
Oh, we can't believe we missed your post! How adorable those little birdies are! We hope they're all hatched by now!
Have you ever seen a Blue Jay and its partner fly in and squabble over food? They act just like a tag team and frighten the cats.
