Home Improvement #3, "Flew De Coop"

“Flew De Coop” is French for , “they are gone”! Which is exactly happened to my Barn Swallows that had built a nest on my sign.

You can see one of the young Barn Swallows comfortably sitting in the nest.

Both young birds would take turns sitting on the edge and “fanning” their wings and stretching all their flying muscles. I knew it would be soon when they would be out of the nest and assume their positions as “full flying” members of the clan.

Finally, they “flew ‘de coop” and were airborne.

Now it is up to the property owner to demolish the un-authorized structure.
