Watching Birds

There is a young and tall tree a few meters away from our bedroom's window. Some weeks ago a crow couple made their nest on its branches exactly parallel to our window. The father and the mother were both busy all the time taking care of their three kids. We used to wake up in the morning to find them checking-in and checking-out alternately to get food. The small kids would just open their red mouths and remain like that for ever - perhaps not knowing how and when the next piece of meal would drop into their mouth :) When we went to bed, we could hear and feel the family. On some days wind blew and the nest would shake with the branches; making us worried. Once it rained and the family weathered it all united as one team. A few days ago, we saw the parents teaching their frightened kids how to fly. Kiddo had gotten down on the tree a bit but was not finding courage to fly... And this morning one of their kids flew directly into our kitchen through an open window and landed up on our refrigerator :) Its parents were just outside but they obviously did not come in to help; humans are not to be trusted ever. We drove the kid out of the window but not before it broke an old cup of glass. As of now they have not returned to their nest after their flying session and I am waiting :)
