They must be deaf! Wow - what an odd place for a nest unless the bells aren't actually rung anymore? I love your Rapunzel observation on my picture - thanks for stopping by.
The photo made me think of how often people will try to avoid disturbing a bird's nest -- maybe that's a sign of hope for us all :)
Thanks for your comment on my not-so-wordless-photo (I signed in before I think I got the full grasp). I admit it's not inspirational...unless a smile and shake of the head can be called inspiration. Take care!
Thanks for stopping by. I live by a dam on the DesPlains River Some one on a rubber raft went over the dam The river is cold and so he is now. We have flooding ion this area usually you can walk across the river.
well, at first glance, i thought it was some sort of effigy/scarecrow: the bell as the body, the "bell-holder" as the arms, the speaker as the head, and the dark branches/nest(?)as the hair...
maybe the birds are deaf that's why they can tolerate the noise :)
That must make a lot of noise ! We once slept besides a church tower in Italy at Easter !! The bell rang all half an hour during the whole night ! A nightmare, lol !
I always wondered about the birds in the belfry.At first I just figured they don't hear the way humans do so it doesn't bother them. But what about the vibration???
I know, I think weird things. Lovely picture. Happy WW
This is a riot. I can visualize the birds getting up early Sunday morning and saying "hurry up kids, the bells gonna ring, if we don't get out of here, we're all gonna be deaf."
One year we had doves (aka pigeons by prettier name) make a nest right by our front door, above the light there. They really are the stupidest birds. We shooed them away and then knocked out the nest. They didn't build the nest again but were always hanging around and getting underfoot, literally. Endless times I had to watch where I was walking around the front of the house. I never understood how a wild bird could be such an easy prey for the local cats. They just waited on the steps until I was just about to actually step on them and then they would take off at the last moment.
boy that is true. i remember our sunday school class used to ring the church bell when we were in the fourth grade; the year before we received first communion; all taking turns on sunday.

Maybe we all need bells in our bedrooms set to go off on Sunday mornings like, an hour before worship.

Oh my! The birds would be scared out of their feathers when the bell goes off! :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they are going to like the noise of the church bells? Just wondering. It's indeed a great shot. Have a wonderful WW. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting shot!
ReplyDeleteThat is a grand bell!
ReplyDeleteI almost feel sorry for the birds. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I live by a dam on the DesPlains River Some one on a rubber raft went over the dam The river is cold and so he is now. We have flooding ion this area usually you can walk across the river.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! Those birds much be deaf!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That would not be pleasant for a bird. LOL - Thanks for stopping by! Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteoh my, I hope it is broken, but maybe they are like the silly doves that create their nests on my porch beam and blow off each day .
ReplyDeleteThat looks like some nest! hope there are babies trying to sleep when they ring that bell. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those are bold birds indeed. I guess they're never late for mass!
ReplyDeleteGood observation!

Well, I feel safe in assuming the birds won't be late to Sunday meetin'!
ReplyDeleteLOL! poor birdie! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot but they surely can't ring those bells while birds are nesting? Please say the bells are silent - like W W.
ReplyDeletei guess the birds know that it's time to go 'out' during Sundays! :)
ReplyDeletewonderful shot and great find! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I wonder what they think when the bells go off?
ReplyDeleteGreat symbol and fun capture.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Yikes, looks like a dangerous house!!
ReplyDeleteOUCH! I wouldn't want to be one of those birds!
ReplyDeletePoor birds! That's a great picture. Good catch!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
My post: "Dressed to kill" (It'll be up in about 2 hours)
No sleeping indeed. with that bell banging surely not a chirp from those birds can be heard.
ReplyDeleteNice shot!
Oh what a clever shot. Those birds are so DETERMINED!
ReplyDeletehaha...that is TOO funny! :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if their eggs survived? How funny, nature truely does not pause for us!
ReplyDeletePoor birds! Great choice for this week's WW. Thanks for visiting mine earlier :)

ReplyDeleteOh Sandy i love that bell what kind of birds in the nest?
ReplyDeleteHow can the birds stand the rings of the bell?I guess there's a nest beside it,right? nice shot again.
ReplyDeleteMy WW entry is up too.
very original!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHahhaha.....but to be able to build a nest there, that spot must be peaceful and quiet! Ding dong bell ding dong bell...it's their alarm clock, maybe?
ReplyDeleteYeah, how could day. Poor birds. Wouldn't want to be in their shoes, eh, nests!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.
oh my - can you just imagine that as an alarm clock? ouch!
ReplyDeletehappy ww. ☺
OH my! That's incredible, and so beautiful! I would love to see a shot after the bell rang!
ReplyDeletewell, at first glance, i thought it was some sort of effigy/scarecrow: the bell as the body, the "bell-holder" as the arms, the speaker as the head, and the dark branches/nest(?)as the hair...

ReplyDeleteHappy WW to you!
Check out my entry too.

Aw, poor birds. Cool photo, I hope the birds are out there at the park on Sundays :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! Birds surely found a safe place to nest. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteHe's thinking ahead
Missing this house
Hmmm, wonder how they chose that spot - and did they move out on Sunday? ;)
ReplyDeleteI can just hear the conversation between the pair. "I TOLD you it was too good to be true..." Nice picture. I love church bells in modest doses.
ReplyDeleteWow, I should say no sleeping in on Sunday. Loved the picture and the caption. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteOk I think a conversation between birds that lived there would sound like this "Tweet Tweet" Translated that means "What did you Say?"
ReplyDeleteCool post!
Jen
No wonder sparrows fall to the ground with the Father's leave -:)
ReplyDeleteThat would be a rude awakening.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered about the birds in the belfry.At first I just figured they don't hear the way humans do so it doesn't bother them. But what about the vibration???
ReplyDeleteI know, I think weird things. Lovely picture. Happy WW
I bet they are happy where they are! Perhaps when the bell ring they are out looking for food!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot!! and love the title, lol
ReplyDeleteHappy ww!
How many eggs did that bell crack?
ReplyDeleteTalk about a wake-up call.
ReplyDeleteThat is one BEAUTIFUL photograph, Sandy.
Do you think they 'hear' the bells, because they can sit on electricity wires and not be electrocuted...
ReplyDeleteThis is a riot. I can visualize the birds getting up early Sunday morning and saying "hurry up kids, the bells gonna ring, if we don't get out of here, we're all gonna be deaf."
ReplyDeleteExtraordinary the photograph, suitable and for the award Odd shots!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous post!
What a great shot! Happy WW!s
ReplyDeleteI didn't even notice the nest at first!
ReplyDeleteVery cool shot! Happy WW and thank you for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteOh the poor things! I wonder why the need to broadcast soft bells all over creation like that?
ReplyDeleteExcellent - Bravo - Fabulous
ReplyDelete- I'wordless
thats really neat...

This reminds me of the book by P.D. Eastman, The Best Nest... I am sure you have heard of it, it is one of my kids' all time favorites.
ReplyDeleteOhhh.. not a good place for nesting..
ReplyDeleteI can already imagine the loud "dong" from it. Heheh.
ReplyDeleteNo sleeping on Sundays- I so agree with that!
ReplyDeleteHope they can catch some during the rest of the weekdays.

I wonder how those birds can take the loud sound. They must take a momentary retreat during the ringing of the bell and go back after. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
