So, Saturday I am trimming some palm trees and decide to trim this large Red Leaf Abyssinian Banana Tree. I cut one part and hear chirping like there's a bird on the ground.,

Chirp chirp chirp and it seems to be coming from the tree.

:kenk:  

This bird made a nest on the underside of the leaf....but it is hanging over the pool!

You can see the stringy elements hanging down below the leaf. Quite the feat for the birds to build this nest here. We also get the breeze from the ocean every afternoon that comes up from the Santa Ana Riverbed and this thing blows around pretty good!

I hope these little guys take to flying real quick when they leave the nest or it's gonna be a splash down!

No they are these really bright yellow birds.

I'll try and get a pic.

 
Cool, don't disturb them too much or momma might abandon them.

We're letting them be.

Cheryl and I were just kicking back in the pool sitting there watching as momma came back with food and flew up in there to feed.

Was cool!

 
We have the same nets under our eves. There is a brown bird and bright yellow bird that hangout on our yard. They are a little smaller than a dove and have long tail feathers. They must learn to fly quick because I have never seen on on the concrete below.
