a red vented bulbul's life (2)

 

Once again, a bulbul comes to our house. We tried chasing the bird, but he kept coming inside. The birds made a nest on the curtains again.

From some days after the bulbuls ware finished making their nest, one day we saw one bird was sitting on the nest, that means…..they have laid eggs.  

 

    

The bulbuls ware sitting on the nest more days than last time. They were sitting on the nest more than a week. One day we saw one adult bird was bringing food. We started to think the eggs hatched. The eggs have hatched. Because they kept bringing food.

They fed the chicks.  One day I saw one chick who was screeching it’s wings a bit. That chick’s wings was already ready to fly. Another day, when the adult bird was feeding I saw one chick was way smaller than the other 2. A bit later in the same day I was in the sofa. I saw the adult birds ware doing something together. then I saw something grey colour jumping out of the nest. I looked  the floor near the curtains, and their was a chick! I went and put our dog Moana outside to the back balcony. I saw the chick ran near the big speaker. We came to get the chick. But the chick as not behind the big speaker! Then we saw that chick was near our manee plant. I saw the other big chick was standing on the curtain. We took the chick near the manee plant from there and kept him near the table.

One of us brought the ladder to check if a chick has died. A chick has died! That chick who was way smaller than the other 2 has died. We took the nest down and kept the chick on top of  the front balcony’s wall. We kept the chick that we kept near the table on top of the table so the calling adult birds can see him.

We thought of putting them on the front balcony like we did to Feathers and Squawk. But we did not have a basket to put them in. we hair dried the nest and put the chicks inside it, and kept it on the curtain again. The adults were still trying to save the dead chick. The chick fell down from the wall and into the ground. The adults started to feed the chicks again, until it got dark. Next morning we went on a trip and came back when it is dark. When we opened the doors we went inside. And I saw something like a chick. We put the lights on to see and it was a chick. We saw that the nest has fallen down. I looked for the other one I looked under the sofa and the chick was there. The chick near the curtain ran towards the fallen nest and stayed there. Sometimes when vehicles go on the road the chick looks at the wall behind himself. We didn’t have a basket to put this two in. so instead we put a big lid. The chicks ware calling a little bit so an adult bird has come. Next morning we kept the chicks in the front balcony. They can fly a bit now. The adults are calling and the chicks are flying low across the balcony. And one chick flew off! We kept the other chick on the wall of the front balcony and this chick flew off too! But that chick flew into another house’s balcony and landed there. It took some time for the chick to fly out of there. The other chick flew into that houses lowest story garden. Because that garden’s wall is so long he was in there for so much time. The other chick flew into our back garden and stayed there for some time. But later he flew away.
