The nest of the small Tiaris birds

A few days ago there was a strong breeze, I didn't pay much attention to it, but when dawn broke, I heard the singing of some small baby Tiaris birds in the distance. I looked at the roof of a shed we have and realized that the wind had knocked down their nest.

The Tiaris had their nest on a branch that touched the roof of the shed, and thanks to that, the nest didn't fall to the ground, but it did land on the roof.

When I realized what had happened, I fixed the nest, but I didn't touch the chicks because the parents might smell me and abandon them. Once the nest was fixed, I left it where it was, and a few minutes later the parents returned and fed the chicks. Hurray! My help had worked; the parents had accepted their chicks. I felt very happy because I had helped save two birds from death.

I've been taking care of them for several days now, making sure the wind doesn't knock them down again, and every time I get up it makes me very happy to hear them sing and listen to their parents' singing; it's truly beautiful.

Some interesting facts about this Tiaris bird are that I know it as "Vigirita", it is one of the most abundant birds around here and some people keep them as pets and I have heard that they even teach them to jump from one side to the other as if it were a dance.

This bird is very beautiful and can sometimes be very tame and come very close. They love seeds and cornmeal. When I rebuilt their nest, I noticed they are very well made; they look like weavers. Their nests are a work of art; they make them in the shape of a ball and cut a hole for the entrance, as you can see in the photo I showed you earlier.

This is all I've done for these birds so far. I continue to care for them and will continue to do so until they can fly and grow into large birds.

I hope you enjoyed the story. Have a good day, see you later.
