Baby Bird!
It has been a few weeks and our guest sunbird has been doing really well! After a few weeks of incubating her egg, we have a cute little baby sunbird!
A sunbird set up her nest on a mop hanging out of our window. Cute litle egg!
However due to the recent heavy rain, the nest actually got pretty messed up that at one point of time, there was only a few strands of fabric from the mop head supporting the nest. My god… your heart would literally jump when the slightest wind blow on the nest!
After a discussion with my dad (who incidentally is quite an expert in DIY), he actually fabricated a wire hoop and supported the nest from the bottom with four strings tied to a metal support on top. Now the nest looks waay more stable and will probably hold the nest till the baby bird grows up and fly off on its own!
Additional support was added for our guests' nest as the nest was dangerously supported by a few strands from the mop head.
Here is a picture of the baby bird taken today! It was all flesh colored when newly-born which quickly was replaced by a layer of black tiny feathers (could be hair but I’m no bird expert… it really look more like hair than feathers!). Now its black feathers are slowly changing into green feathers like its mom! I really wonder whether it’s a boy bird or girl bird… =P
The egg hatched and we got ourselves one cute little sunbird!
I’m going for my lasik surgery later today! Hopefully everything goes really well… I’m so looking forward to it!
