Romeo is dead...

We started with 4 eggs...found only 3 birdies hatched...and found Nemo on the ground this afternoon - sadly he had passed.  Scott put him in the trash can but we may be having a ceremony soon.  Carson said, "Aww, that poor dead birdie!  Why can't we bury him and then use spray paint to mark it with an X?"
Later this afternoon we found Pip (formerly Romeo, Rylee is a girl and will change her mind if she wants to, thank you very much!) on the ground - still alive!  Scott put some gloves on and put her back only for her to fall out again a few minutes later.  Then we left to go to Sonic for our FREE root beer floats and when we got back poor Pip was on the ground again!!  We think Snipe is mean and pushing her out.  This time Mitch put on a glove and put her back but Snipe had taken over the nest and there wasn't much room for her.  Hence...Snipe is a meanie head!
See how Pip is just teatering on the edge of the nest?!
Meanie head Snipe won't let her in!

So, like the good mother that I am, I put on a glove and made room for her.  
We are worried about Pip...she has fallen 3 times and looks a bit broken up!  We haven't seen Mama Bird around in a while either.  We'll be sayin' a prayer for her tonight and hoping that our trying to help her hasn't hurt her.
