I've been sus about their presence in the roof as there is remnants of old nests up in the eave, but I thought these birds were in the carport. Recently I was proven wrong when the boys started yelling that a bird flew through their bedroom, which they followed, and watched it disappear up into the roof where the old chimney was.
Their babies have been squarking for a couple of weeks now and mummy bird has been carrying on at me when Im at the car. She sits on the gutter, going off at me with a worm in her beak until I'm out of sight.
This morning I was roused by excited squealing that there was another bird in the house. This one had perched itself on the curtain rail in the spare room. Upon investigation, I saw that it was a juvenile, and a very panicky juvenile at that :(
The poor thing flapped about and ended up behind the organ on the floor. I managed to chase it out of there but it got stuck in the curtain in the kids room. I grabbed it with a towel and took it outside where I let it go. That little thing took off like crazy, way up over the roof of the house across the road! So I guess it got the flying thing figured out in a real hurry ;)
