Update on the Burd'z Nest

It is with a heavy heart that I report to my pals that the beloved Burd’z Nest that I have been watching and supervising for the past week from my Cat Perch in our front window has met with a tragic ending.

A Mama Burd has been busy at work for the past week building a nest in the eaves of our front porch. I have been sitting on my Cat Perch in the front window every morning and every night watching the hard working Mama Burd build her nest:


Burd Watching from My Cat Perch


Last night when my Mom came home from work, she was horrified to see our beloved Burd’z Nest sitting on the ground underneath the eaves where Mama Burd had been building her nest:


The Burd's Nest


There were no eggs or remnants of eggshells anywhere, so we don’t know if the eggs were eaten by a predator or if Mama Burd had not yet laid her eggs. We are sad about this sudden turn of unfortunate events and feel very sorry for Mama Burd. She spent so much time and effort building her pretty little nest, only to have it knocked to the ground.

A Very Sad Burd Watcher,

I was sitting in my favorite spot on top of one of the cat perches in our front window yesterday morning, when Mom noticed me staring intently at something on the front porch. I was staring up at the eaves of the porch just above our front door. Mom opened the front door to see what I was looking at and saw a Mama Burd flying away.

When she looked up at the eaves she saw…the Burd’z Nest! Since it’s way up high she’d have to get a step ladder to get a closer look, but she doesn’t want to scare Mama Burd off permanently in case there are eggs in the nest. We’re going to watch from a distance for now so Mama Burd can finish building her nest and taking care of her little burdie eggs if there are any.

Since the Mama Burd flew off, we’re not sure what kind of bird she is. I have a front row seat from my cat perch in the window so I’m going to keep watch for the next few days to see what happens. I’ll be back with more Burd updates later.

Love,

It's Fun Being Four

Today me and my brofur Luke turn four years old. Mom looked at the cat age calculator and saw that 4 cat years is equivalent to 32 human years - she says that is a great age to be. Old enough to have some wisdom and experience, but still young enough to act silly, carefree, and have lots of fun – MOL.

I was a little upset about being left home alone for the past few days while Mom and Dad went off to the mountains to ski. After all what could be more important than staying home with your fur kids? Mom said it was very strange to sleep in a bed at night that did not have kitties laying all over it. She kept waking up and wondering where we were. Then she remembered she was not at home. Since I like to burrow under the blankies next to Mom every night she said it was kind of hard to get used to not having me next to her for a couple of nights. It was so nice having her home again, I jumped into her lap and purred and purred last night. Yeah, I admit it, I’m a Mama’s Boy.

Thank you to all the pals who stopped by to wish us a happy birthday today. We’re having a fun day celebrating.

Love, Tully
