Remember the wreath I made for our front door?
Well... I'm not the only one that liked it! About a week after I placed it on the door, we started seeing limbs and dirt at our front door.  Both Brian and I would sweep it up, then find the mess again the next day.  We just could not figure out what was making such a mess.

Long story short, we ordered pizza one night, the delivery guy came to the door and was boom bared by a bird.  She flew right at him!  Scared him like crazy.  Luckily he kept hold of our pizza {coming from the pregnant mind}! That's when we found who what was making such a mess... the finch had laid several eggs in the our wreath.  After months of not using our front door... the precious little birds hatched.

It was quite the experience for Sutton- She got to see them learn how to fly {which only took about two days} and Mama bird working so hard at bringing her babies food. Something I learned during this...when the mama bird is out getting food, the Papa bird sits near by guarding the nest.  He would scream tweet to alert Mama bird if someone got near the nest.  I had no idea that Papa bird stuck around to help the mother.  Here are some picture we captured!
