My friend suggested that I sprinkle cayenne pepper around the base of the tree to keep critters away. If you look at the top middle-ish right hand of the picture you can see the thorns on this plant lol. I scratched up my arm getting this picture in the middle of my thorny bougainvillea. So I'm gonna let nature run its course.
Plus its been raining a lot, so sprinkling pepper would be futile. I think momma knew what she was doing by putting her babies there in the thorny tree.
When I first realized there were eggs in there, I got dive-bombed by mom LOL. But I guess she is used to me now because I peek every day, and she just sits on the wire watching me.
When I very FIRST peeked today, the baby birds popped their heads up like they were looking for food from momma. I ran in real quick to get the phone, and when I came back I got this pic. I wish I had a photo with the little beaks popping out looking for food LOL. Too cute.
