Empty Nest Syndrome

Since Kevin's departure my mom has taken to help care for a baby blue jay right outside the kitchen window.  So a few days ago the baby bird fell out of the nest and my mom heard the parents go crazy.  She went outside and picked up the bird and put it back in the nest.  Later that day, my mom was sitting in the living room minding her own business when she heard a knock at the window.  The mama blue jay was fluttering around the window and occasionally ran into it, to get my moms attention.  My mom thought it was a little weird, but didn't get up to do anything.  So the mama bird flew to the front door and perched on the window sill and started tapping the window with her beak.  My mom decided that she better go check on the baby bird, and of course the baby had fallen out of the nest.  She picked the baby up and put it back into the nest.  The baby has been in there since, until this morning.  My mom went to check on him and when she did, Joey went running to the bushes by the pool.  Joey started to walk through the bushes and before my mom knew it, a little baby blue jay pooped up from behind the bushes with dog in tow.  So she picked it up again and put it back.  This is the prime entertainment at my mom's house now...which I guess is a good thing now that Kevin isn't home very much.
