Do you know what it is?

I couldn't begin to guess. Baby birds all look the same to me. Robin?

Holy shit, I never realized how much a baby bird's open mouth resembles a flower or vagina. Looking straight down the baby's mouths as a momma bird, I have to wonder if the mere sight of those things wide open, maybe little tongues flailing in hungered frenzy deep within, actually produces a strong hormonal impulse in the parent akin to that off honeybees and men in heat. I had previously always looked at baby birds on their whole, but what if all important physiological features have been fine-tuned through the co-evolution of their interested party? Are we all just a set of objects to be molded and colored in the correct fashion and location and to be acted upon?

There are no Robins around where I work, where the pictures were taken. Starlings seems like the most likely. 5 seems like a lot of chicks though

Yikes, hope those wires are low voltage. They might be starlings.

Birds have to have the ugliest babies of the animal kingdom.

That's 3 phase fo sho.

I vote starlings. I have been on a starling killing spree lately. They love to nest in pockets or voids. That electrical enclosure must have a hole in it for them to get it. They only need a small holes, ~2" diameter.

Robins make their own nests and like to more in the open.

5 chicks at once is just a Friday night.

That's a hell of an upscale apartment they've got there.

All-fiberglass-reinforced-resin for the primary structure, a weathertight door on a stainless steel hinge, and it even comes with electrical wiring pre-installed.

You're aroused by baby birds. Get help.
