Confessions of a Killer

I have a number of wreaths that I hang on my front door.  Most are seasonal - Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.  I've had the same one on the door since the first of the year and decided it was time to change it...

For the past week or so I had noticed a bird flying around the wreath.  I thought it must have been confused since the wreath was primarily fake flowers.  What I didn't realize was that bird had built a nest and laid eggs...

As I pulled the wreath off the hanger yesterday, there was a loud splat.  I looked down and there was a pile of eggs on my porch.  Broken eggs.  At least three, maybe more.  I feel terrible!  That poor mama bird, I destroyed her little family.  I had no idea she would build a nest in my fake flowers, but she did.

So I hang my head in shame.



Dear Mama Bird,
I really didn't know you were using my wreath as a nest.  It's an old wreath that I have used for many years.  But that does not excuse my carelessness with your family.  I would have loved the surprise of finding your offspring in my wreath after they were born.  I am so sorry.
Sincerely,
The Careless Home Owner

Aw, that is so sad. I bet they would have given you quite a jump, the little chirps. Mama Bird picked a very interesting spot for her nest...

Aw....poor Sis. McElhaney. Even though it was an accident I know you must have felt as bad as the mama bird. :`(
