They're gone!

The past few days our birds have been venturing out on the ledge of their nest. Well two of them were. The nest is quite small to accommodate four growing birds and it has been humorous to be watching them peck at each other when mommy and daddy were away. We have been talking to the boys about the birds getting too big for their house and they are probably getting ready to start to fly. They had started practicing in the nest for quite some time. So on one morning when the boys and I were home together I left the house to empty some trash and Isaiah followed me out, but stayed on the porch. As I was coming back into the house a small bird flew past my head, and when questions what had happened Isaiah exclaimed, "I wanted to see them fly and I knew that they could, so I shook the tree." Needless to say that when one left, with in a few hours they had all flown away. He really is a great kid and can usually find a way to get what he wants. Didn't they turn out pretty cute?
