My Steves are all grown up! Watching these babies grow up has been totally worth the death of this plant (which I was already pissed off with anyways)

Awwww!
Can’t blame them, it’s way better than anything they could’ve built. It’s like squatting in a mansion VS building a cardboard hut yourself.
BABIES. of course it was a dove though
I missed the original post for this story, but for the next time: I get birds in hanging plants on our porch just about every year, and I still water everything. I am of course much more careful with the plant that has the nest, but I’ve had several generations of songbird grow up in plants that were actively maintained. The mama bird flies away when I approach, like she would with any other potential threat, but she always comes back.

I also had some porch babies (nearly) cause the death of my plant
Wonderful.
Awwww
Awww so precious
omg they are so precious 😭 i had a fledgling seagull hanging out outside my window for a couple of weeks and he was both super noisy and a joy to watch
r/stupiddovenests has lots of those
In my best David Attenborough voice ” Nature always find a way”
Awwwww
Omg you’re a grandparent 🥹🥹🥹
Worth it.
We always end up with at least one nest in our hanging Boston fern planters. This year we have one in each. I still gently water but just take care not to bother the actual nest.
Adorable. Years ago I had a pair of American Robins nest not in a plant but behind a huge Crown of Thorns, Euphorbia milii, on a bench behind my garage. I would water the plants as normal and whichever parent was on the nest would just sit there as they would in rain. They successfully raised three chicks. I guess nesting behind a large spiky plant was good predator deterrent, as the bench top was only three feet off the ground.
WOW 😳
Thank you for the follow up on the Steves! My day is now complete.
Aww you thought you were growing a plant but instead you helped grow a family 🫶
Awwww dubs!! Congratulations on the new grandbabies
You can still water. Doves are dumb as rocks. They won’t care you’re near them
I suspected a dove from the first photo.
At our place the parents shove the babies out way too early to fledge and immediately lay a new clutch of eggs! Randy buggers!
Success!!
The swipe from first to second photo was so good. She’s adorable
How did I know that shit ass nest was a pigeon/dove??? Because they make shit ass nests lol
Congrats on your new additions
doves 🙄
