I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but here I go. I noticed a bird's nest with eggs in it a few weeks ago, and originally thought about taking it out because the pot is close to the house, and I didn't want to have my alyssum plants and dwarf Alberta spruce destroyed by the bird. I decided against it because I'm a firm believer in not disrupting native wildlife for non-native annual plants. Anyway, the bird has been a great guest - I never even notice any damage to any plants. The eggs just hatched yesterday, and I'm wondering if all the little birds look okay. One has a round butt with a yellow bump, and it's concerning me a little. Two eggs never hatched. I'm not even sure what type of birds these are, but they sure are cute. The mother is like a speckled brown, white chested, with a pure brown/copper colored back. She is not protective, and stays far away from the nest when I'm outside. Thoughts on what type of birds these are? Is the one with the yellow lump okay? Any knowledge is greatly appreciated because I know next to nothing about birds.
