Hi @Shaz51

 

How are you getting along?

 

I have had birds in my rear courtyard - which is very small - and used to be full of vines - but the Ministry of Housing insisted they be cut down and there were baby birds nesting there - and they were ring-necked doves and protected so the men who came and cut the vines back had to leave that bit until later

 

So these baby ring-necked doves goes used to me and when the parent birds were teaching them to fly I got to pick the babies up and put them back in the nest - and this was amazing

 

Then when they were fully fledged they would sometimes follow me down the drive - with the parent birds watching - this was really special -

 

And before that one very wet and bleak spring I had a blackbirds' nest outside my bathroom window in a vine - and they got very cramped in there - when they came out of the nest they were so big I have no idea how crowded it must have been - but those babies never came back - it's a hard world for baby birds when there are so many cats around

 

I hope you and your husband are battling okay @Shaz51 - I know you both have health problems and life can't be easy
