Serious Protecksh

How safe are these lil’ guys, growin’ up in styrofoam and leaves and stuff. They could even re-position the pads if they wanted to to make a new living room.

  5. alisa says:

    Aww house finches! I had a couple of these little guys raising babies in a hanging basket on my front porch.

  6. ceejoe says:

    Teho, did you take down the Amanda-spam? I was just going to comment, but it looks like you beat me to it. Thanks! :-)

    House finches and Carolina Wrens will nest in your pockets if you stand still long enough.

  9. Theresa says:

    Feenches!

  10. Melissa says:

    How sweet! Henry needs a backup helmet. I hope they don’t dive bomb him when he goes by.

  11. Emilia says:

    they’re gonna lay some kittens in your noggin cup!

  12. Two in the hat are worth ten in the bush.

  13. A thinker says:

    Such clever and adaptable birdies. and I think it’s safe to say the owner either a) hasn’t been biking in some time; or b) doesn’t use that helmet.

  14. sweetpea says:

    They are sweet, but I hope they are safe pecking at the styrofoam and all.

  15. Rosalynde says:

    Holy beady eye factor!!!!!

  16. maymee says:

    Think anyone will ever weat that helmet again?
    Methinks not.

  17. Theo says:

    Llism — *no* idea what you’re talking about.
    ;)

  18. Sweet Pea says:

    Those birds must be New Yorkers!
    With housing being so pricey now helmets are a new residence option.
    What’s the square footage on that?

  19. Sorry officer, I know helmets are required by law but you see, these pigeons decided to nest in my helmet. No really! There’s a picture of it on Cute Overload!!!

    I’ve been standing still for hours, but nothing like this happened to me! I want pocket finches!

  22. jen says:

    cute. smart little birdies.

  23. Kritter says:

    All I can think is “poop in the helmet”.

  24. That’s about all I can afford for my first house, too.

  25. I see they are using the PPPP style of living.. (Precious Posh Peeper Pad) They are also Perfectly Poofy in Personal Practice.. :)

    A thinker:

    I think the helmet pwner isn’t going to be using it much in the future, either….

    We have hummingbirds nesting in a hanging basket on our patio for the second time this spring! We need to put up a “Hummer Maternity Ward” sign or something.

    I wonder if I should put out a bike helmet for them?

  28. funkyb0ss says:

    SOMEbody hasn’t been out riding the ol’ bike enough lately

  29. Shannon Johnson says:

    Ok, whoever did that for the birdies, were very nice. Thank you for providing a very nice and cozy home for them(even if you didn’t mean to, i think they appreciate it)*HEE HEE*

  30. Arvay says:

    How cute! :)

  31. Cynthia Blue says:

    Oh my that is just completely cute. I hope those birds are okay. :)

  32. Florida says:

    We used to have mourning doves nesting in our garage all the time … silly birds. Once they built a very precariously balanced nest on top of the chain/gears of a bike that was hanging upside down!

  33. lil_cutey says:

    aawwwwwww! What a nice place to have a nest! I wonder if it’s comfy! They sure are some smart birds!

  34. acelightning says:

    Well, the padded liner is certainly a lot more comfortable than a nest built out of sticks and twigs and stuff – I mean, which would *you* rather sleep on?

  35. Kimberly says:

    My lazy behind hasn’t gotten on my bike in months. Perhaps I should hang my helmet outside and let some birds nest – at least that way my equipment will be getting SOME use.

  36. little miao says:

    How precious! those little birdies are very practical.

  37. Genevieve says:

    Dear Human Owner of the Helmet,

    Please let the birdies have it. They are just too cute.
