Some of these “drinks” even contain some trace of actual coffee.

Two weeks after leaving the nest, I think, the merry band of siblings just visited my feeding station 🥰

I count at least seven in this short clip.

Real beautiful grown up birdies now themselves 🥹🥰

Our 8 #chickadee chicks are a rowdy little bunch by now 😍

But look how quickly they fall entirely still & quiet when a large bird lands on the nestbox…

Since this morning, momma has started sitting on the clutch during the day. It’s noon already and she’s getting cozy in there 😍
