Respecters of Life

We were up twiddling around our apartment this morning, when a knock came at the door. There were some maintenance men out front chopping holes in the ceiling. Apparently the men who have been working on the roof of the complex poked a wire and cut off electricity to our neighbors. So... they had to find it and fix it. Since they couldn't find it outside, they had to come inside our apartment and make some giant holes in our ceiling! No big deal, until...



...we walked outside and found a bird's nest destroyed on the cement landing. It would have been okay had there not been four newly hatched baby birds laying there too! We were irate! So, we scooped them up and took them to the vet clinic on campus. One of them did not make it... we just hope the other three are okay.



The holes are now all fixed just like the little birds will be... we hope.

what kind of birds are they?

African swallow-according to Evan, who is a geologist, so it's legit... or maybe just like some blue birds.
