Window Ferns

I love hanging ferns on my front porch outside my windows in the spring. The bad thing is trying to keep the birds out of the ferns!  It has been my mission this year to empty the ferns of any nests as soon as they are started.  I was doing great with this and it was working until I failed to check it for about 36 hours.  That's all it took and I had my first egg!  Next thing I know, there are SIX eggs!!! What bird in her right mind would lay 6 stinking eggs!?!?!?  I don't believe in abortion so I guess this makes me a foster mom to birds!  Here's our first hatch!
