If you’re on Twitter you can follow along the birdy adventure by checking in to the #NestWatch tag.
A few interesting observations that are worth noting:
- I watched one of the birds remove something from the nest this morning. It flew away and dropped it on the pavement in front of our house. Thinking it might have been a dead baby I went out to check. It was a snail! Uneaten at that.
- I happened to be at the window when the wet bird (above) was switched out by the other (dry) parent, who promptly reached down into the nest with his beak and picked up a lump of something white… and ate it. It was poop! Ew. Apparently this is how they keep their nests clean.
Awhile ago I was contacted by the fine folks at Shoeme.ca, a Canadian online shoe store. They offered me a pair of shoes in order to try out their service. How could I refuse? And how hard could it be to pick a pair of shoes from a website?
Turns out, it was harder than I thought. I’d go in with a few ideas, add to my wishlist, and promptly change my mind… EVERY TIME. Did I want pretty pair of casual shoes for wearing with jeans? Fulfill my fantasy of owning a pair of Miz Mooz? Finally replace my favourite pair of shiny red flats? Buy a pair of cool rainboots? Get some comfy new pumps for the office?
We are talking major SHOE PARALYSIS here folks.
