Watching all of the nesting activity and subsequently the "training" of the baby birds that are hatched in the nests inspired these pages. I can sense the frustration and weariness of the parents as they guide their little ones around showing them how to hunt food and stay away from danger. Their babies are loud and demanding. I used funny descriptions out of a vintage bird book to describe the feelings of the parents and human babies to illustrate that the experience of humans and birds when it comes to offspring is similar. This is my entry for the Three Muses Challenge this week.

Heather, your collages are so wonderful! I could look at all the details again and again. And the quotes are super.
Such beautiful collages and a touching story to go with them. Wonderful work.
Both are so wonderful
Lots of pretty eye candy! Beautiful pages! Hugs!
Morte gorgeous collage work Heather. These are fab and love the quotes too
Hugs June x
Wonderful collages and inspired in such a lovely way- beautiful work!
I'm not sure, but that owl looks as if he could be kidnapping that baby for ransom! Momma better pay attention. Mom & Pop bird have been failures here at my house this spring. I have an all-glass front storm door directly across from double windows, and the kindergarden birds seem to think it's a freeway. Three have flown into my door. When I've heard the thud, I've looked, to discover a rather dazed and dumb-looking neophyte sitting on my welcome mat! I'm sure they're thinking "talk about a glass ceiling"!!!
I enjoyed both of your pieces. There's so much detail!
Heather, these are just adorable! I love the babies you used...I just want to cuddle them...although I have a feeling them might not sit still for that for TOO long! ~Lori

All I can say is wow and a lot of work.
Excellent, Hugs Laura.
Both pieces are beautiful! Wonderful collage work.
Birds sure look like they have their work cut out for them....wonder if the cuteness of the babes makes up for it? ( Trying to cast back in my memory for the answer...but no go )
Nice job,and Happy Canada Day!
Love both of them,their adorable!
Wow - this is very impessive.
Stunning work. Love them.
These are lovely Heather! Great mix of elements.
Heather, these are refreshing & sweet! I can totally relate to *the babies leaving the nest* being a parent of 3 teenagers! It's harder than when they were young!
