My overzealous landscaping friend Artie proved true to his name this afternoon and attacked a neighbors palm tree with a large pole saw. Not long into the battle, he was pelted with missiles of the brown and winged variety.

Either mother bird shoved her little ones out of the nest and bolted, or while trying to escape the giant scissors, these little guys learned just how difficult flying can be.

They'll be making a trip to the local veterinarian's office tomorrow where they will come to live in the bird sanctuary until they can be released into the wild to fend for themselves.

Way to go, Art.
