The Stationary Haddock
"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." Widely attributed to feminist Gloria Steinem in the 1970's, this quote was met by the male response: "Yes, but who needs a stationary haddock?" According to the Stationary Haddock, the answer to that question is: "four animals, for starters!"
The Stationary Haddock, formerly The Shopping Diet Chick, is raising two dogs and two birds in Norfolk. She has been compared to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich: sweet and nutty.

Remember the Duckie Video Clip?

Hi, and Happy Monday! (Thank God it's over, right?)
Okay, so before I tell you more about my reinvention, I wanted to share this with you. So cute.
Remember the duckie video clip where the duck laid eggs on someone's recliner situated on the front porch? Well, my story isn't quite as remarkable, but it tickled me because I'd never seen anything like it before.
This is the begonia that hangs on my front porch:

This is what I found when I took it down to drench it with water:
What I found when I went to water plant
Then I freaked out because I didn't know if I had damaged the tiny eggs by dousing them with cold water. And I couldn't remember which way I had the plant hanging, and worried that mama bird wouldn't come back if I guessed wrong. Any ornithologists out there?

Hi Snow!
That's amazing that the bird found the nest and reinstalled it in the same place... Now I'm confident my bird can reposition her nest to suit herself if I didn't do it right! Thanks for sharing and I'd love to see the pic!
P.S.
I'll have to take a picture of mine too - I don't know why I didn't think of that!
Same situation here too
Last week I noticed a nest, without eggs in it, in one of my hanging baskets on the porch. Since there weren't any eggs in it, I took the nest out with the intention of throwing it away, but I got distracted and later couldn't remember what I had done with it. I'm sure I left it on the table on the front porch because on Sunday when I went to water my plants - low and behold - the nest was back and this time with three little eggs in it. Well, I can't let my plant die without water, so I tried as carefully as I could to water around the nest, but inevitably the eggs still got wet. My boyfriend brought up the point that they would get wet in the rain anyways. I saw the mother (presumably) in the my basket later that day, so I'm hoping all is well, but I do have to keep watering my plant. Bizarre that the same exactly thing would happen to both of us! =)
