guarding the weak, young and flightless is tiring work

I am sooo tired. I have been guarding the fledging blackbirds from the cats all day.

Cats. Honestly. Huh!
I am extremely tired now and have put the STAFF in charge of any further guarding duties. I have already missed out on 4 hours daytime napping and I could not possibly forego any more. 

Let's hope the little fluffballs will make it through the night. AND learn to fly soon!
