My husband came home and surprised me with two hanging ferns for our porch at the beginning of spring. Since then I was surprised again one day while I was watering one of the ferns at night when a bird flew out of it as I poured the water in it. It scared me so bad I tripped over one of my rocking chairs while trying to duck away. After that night, I would see the bird leave and come back to the fern. Well, today I was fertilizing all of my plants and it came time to do the ferns...I took one of the ferns down so I could water it and then I discovered this nest of baby birds!!! I felt like I was a person from the Discovery channel...you can see one little egg still in the nest...it is light blue with little dots. These ferns came as a surprise to me and have continued to surprise me time and time again. I told my husband that this was the best gift he could ever give me!!! I can't water my fern anymore, but I have a little bird family that lives on my porch - so much fun!!! The girls got to see the newborn birdies! I don't want the fern to die, but I don't know what else to do.
