I'm pretty sure these are birds from the nests in our house.

This definitely looks like one of our birds.

I'm very pleased to report that all of the birds that grew up in our house fledged and flew away on their own. It wasn't easy for them though. On July 10, I discovered one of the two birds in the downstairs nest was caught on a piece of the nest material. I was able to free him and he flew away shortly after that. The birds in the upstairs nest were also present when some insulating foam got sprayed in the same room (although not in the nest itself). The fumes were bad but they appeared to be OK. I got to watch them fly away on July 14 and they looked even better today.

 

July 5-9 - The bird's nests

If you look in the corner of the master bedroom...

You'll see the bird's nest in the rafters...

And the momma bird feeding her chicks

A second bird's nest (with 3 chicks) in the guest bedroom.
