I found both Mama and Papa bird sitting on the nest today. I had been contemplating the question: How do the babies and one of the parents all fit together in the nest? But, now that I see both parents sitting on the nest I have come up with a reason for how and why they manage that. I'm figuring that as the babies get older and bigger, it becomes difficult for just one parent to cover up the babies during inclement weather. So, both parents sit next to each other on the top rim of the nest. I can't imagine it's comfy, but what do I know about being a bird.
