There are four of them and they are the third batch born on our front porch so far this spring/summer. The first batch were blue birds, not sure what these or the second batch are - but this family of 4 are the noisy ones for sure. They chirp, chirp, chirp all day and evening. From the size of them I know they are old enough to fly away.
After they fly the coop we are shutting down the maternity ward! My husband is going to fix things so they can't build another nest. There is bird poop that will need to be power washed a few times to remove it all.
I think they are cute and I wish them well, but enough is enough I am reclaiming my porch.
Photo is mine.

We are in the same situation. On our front porch the bird built the nest and just now, the eggs have hatched and the babies are really tiny. And , yes we have poop on the porch and yes, my husband will be fixing things once these birds have grown and flown from the nest.

@AbbyGreenhill Birds really are persistent and find places to build nests that we would never think they would think to build them.

The bird poop is one thing, the lice is another reason.

At least three are big enough to fly away. They are being big babies!

@AbbyGreenhill The mother should be pushing them out soon.
They look like sparrows, they are horribly noisy.

Come on, please give them enough time to strengthen their wings . . When their "mama" is out looking for foods to feed them, I suggest you get a ladder and feed them . . . say, bread crumbs.

@antonbunot - this was from June - they are fine and left and baby birds do not eat bread crumbs.
