If you’re going to build a nest, wouldn’t you want to tuck it away where no one can see it? This little mother who selected my avocado tree chose a visible spot where she can keep an eye on me. However, I can’t reach my avocados.

For weeks she’s been terrorizing me, whirring and buzzing at my head when I go on my daily avocado hunt to pick one or two–avocados aren’t just tasty, they’re  rich in vitamins .

At first I thought the bird was cute, but after a few days of getting buzzed I decided to find out if this little creature could make contact with me.  It was starting to freak me out.  One day I tip-toed out to my tree not wanting to get buzzed. It was quiet–the bird wasn’t there. But whammo! Right in front of my eyes was a nest. Mama apparently was out to lunch and left “her” tree unguarded.

Her behavior suddenly changed when she completed her nest where she sits most of the time. She hasn’t buzzed me, but she never lets her eyes off me. I will post updates if I  see babies in approx. 2-3 weeks.
