| Evil Snake! So... I come home tonight and like usual, I look into the robin's nest to see the eggs... only I found an empty nest.... then I see the evil snake on the air-conditioning unit. The boys were tormenting it but I made them stop. I feel violated! That snake crawled up on my porch, up my ficus tree and ate those eggs. That poor Robin!

| I am sorry that you now have an empty nest. What a disappointment when you were expecting to watch the eggs hatch and the babies grow up. |

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | I'm so sorry. I can totally understand how u feel. This happened to my Mom a couple of yrs ago......only the baby birds were in a fern hanging basket on her front porch. She watched them grow every day & watched the Mom work diligently to feed them. She became so attached watching them. And then........Yes, u know what happened! It was awful. I won't even go into the details. But to this day, she has Never had another fern hanging basket.

| This may seem harsh,but the mother bird will hopefully learn to build her nest in a different tree and possibly much higher and better hidden on the next try. This may have been her first nest. Wild folk have a harder life than we do! Most likely she and poppa bird will try again before summer. Hopefully, new babies will not be viewble in the old ficus. Maybe the snake will go after field mice the next time |

| OMG! I hate snakes! Did you kill the snake? Just knowing it was on the AC unit would give me the heebie jeebies. I would be afraid that it would somehow come through the AC unit into the house!
