仙台 えいごの教室

  After I wrote the last blog, the mama bulbul laid 2 more eggs, and as we read on the Internet, the mama bulbul started warming the eggs in the nest after she laid¹ the fifth one, which was on Saturday, the 18th.

 

  I cut a small hole in the paper screen² of the window, and started peeking at³ the nest every day and night⁴. It was amazing — the mama bulbul kept warming the eggs day after day5 even if it was raining or windy or scorching⁶ hot. I really worried about her.

 

  This morning, Will said "I think something happened. They are all gone!" I was scared and ran upstairs⁷ to my room and peeked at the nest. The mom was not there and I couldn’t see the eggs. I almost panicked, but when I was closely⁸ looking into9 the nest, I saw pale pink thing moving. It was a baby bulbul!

 

  First, I saw one. Then, I saw one more. The reason that the mom was not there was she went somewhere to look for food. Soon she came back and started feeding them.

 

 

 

  When the mom again flew away to get some food, I took this photo. I wanted to count how many babies were hatched¹⁰. There were five!

 

  We are so excited!! We hope they will grow up big and strong¹¹! Keeping our fingers crossed¹²…
